Spring Garden Planting Day 🌱 Seedlings to Beds, Dahlias Sprouting + Porch Decor Shopping Inspiration

Hey friends—today is a true Spring-to-Summer reset! 🌤️ The sun is out, temps are in the low 60s, and I’m finally bringing my basement-grown seedlings outside to start planting in the garden—even before the final frost, using garden cloches to protect and warm the soil. I’m working from a simple garden sketch + layout plan and planting a mix of annuals and perennials (including yarrow, strawflower, statice, and a perennial thistle). You’ll also see updates on what’s already thriving—asparagus, sage, garlic, onions, chives, thyme, oregano, kale, peas, radishes, echinacea, spinach—plus an exciting look at dahlias sprouting from tubers! 🌸 Then we switch gears for a fun spring/summer home & front porch decorating inspiration tour in stores like Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, HomeGoods, Target, and Michaels—with lots of blue & white, lemons, coastal shells, and outdoor styling ideas. 💛 If you love cozy seasonal living, gardening, and home décor, you’re in the right place.
