Tiny Tim Tomatoes are soaking up the front yard sunshine today and getting a good feeding!
🍅
These were started from seed (indoors) a few months ago, live outside during the day and move inside at night to protect from cold. They are starting to get flowers and tiny tomatoes!
🌼
Starting more seeds indoors today to for the spring garden! Spring garden YT series starts in a few weeks - get ready to grow warm weather veggies!
🌱
What’s on your garden agenda for the weekend?

If you want to get your kids excited about gardening, RADISHES are the veggie for you! 🌱
They’re colorful, easy to grow from seed in a garden bed or container, germinate quickly, and are ready to harvest in 3-4 weeks, giving kids (almost!) immediate gratification.
💜
They like temps 75 F and under and will take a light frost. Give your kids their own container and help them plant radishes first thing in the spring! Southern gardeners - plant NOW before it gets too hot for them.
☀️
This beauty will be thrown into a salad, greens and all! I love the zippy, slightly peppery flavor of radishes on salads - how ‘bout you? .

Want a SUPER easy veggie that you can plant right now in a mild winter climate? Plant PEAS!
☀️
If you live in a cold winter climate, you can plant PEAS just as soon as your soil thaws and you can work it a little bit, even before your last frost date!
❄️
Peas are a cool weather veggie, grow best in full sun in temps under 75 F, and will even take a light frost.
🌱
Many peas are vining plants - plant seeds along a trellis so they can climb. Easy and quick to grow, seed to harvest in about 6-8 weeks.
👩🏻‍🌾
Now is a good time to plant for southern gardeners. I planted these Sugar Snap Peas (super sweet, and can be eaten shell and all) directly in the garden bed few weeks ago. Can’t wait for the sweet, crunchy harvest (swipe for last spring’s harvest!)
😋
I love to eat them dipped in hummus, although often I snack on them right in the garden!
💚
How do you like to eat your peas?

Throwback to last spring when the nasturtiums were in full bloom. They’re starting to pop up everywhere in the garden and I can’t wait until they are blooming like this again! (See stories for my first bloom!)
🌺
A must grow easy early spring flower - they don’t need special care, in fact they thrive on neglect. Plant seeds directly in garden beds as soon as frost is past.
🌱
All parts of the flower are edible! Leaves make for zippy salads, flowers are tasty and make your salads pretty, seeds can sub for capers!
🌞
If you planted nasturtiums last year, they may be popping up in your garden already, as they often reseed from year to year, they attract pollinators like CRAZY!
🐝
Nasturtium seeds are in my Bring on the Pollinators Cool Season Flower Seed Collection, along with 5 other flower varieties.
🌺
This seed collection is FREE this week (til Friday) with the purchase of a signed copy of my book, Organic Gardening for Everyone, at calikimgardenandhome.com, add both to your cart, use the code “ORGANIC” at checkout. (Link in “flower” story highlight).
🦋
Give me a 🌺 below if you’re growing nasturtiums in your garden, or would like to this spring!
