Hello, basement nursery. Hello, sowing station. Hello, lovely seeds. So happy to start this gardening season, and more thankful than ever for my garden.

The year before was a huge garden redesign, and this is the year I plan to finish it. There’s something satisfying about a fresh stack of seed packets that a screen never quite manages to replicate — it makes the whole season feel like it’s already begun, even with snow still on the ground outside.
