Early April 2026 Garden Tour: Setting Things Up For A Great Start

If your garden isn’t fully planted yet, you’re NOT behind—and this early April garden tour shows exactly why. In this video, I walk you through everything I’m doing right now to set the stage for a productive, successful growing season in 2026. From soil prep and composting to checking overwintered crops and planning out beds, this is where the real foundation gets built. We’re cleaning out grow bags, removing old roots, and turning that waste into future nutrients through composting. I’ll show you how my strawberries are bouncing back (and even flowering early), how garlic, onions, cabbage, and peas are progressing, and how I’m using wicking beds, raised beds, and containers to maximize space. You’ll also see how I’m handling weeds, leaf mold, and bed prep to make planting easier moving forward. Whether you’re gardening in a small space, using containers, or working around physical limitations, this walkthrough keeps it practical and realistic. One step at a time—that’s how we build a garden that works for us. If you’re feeling behind, don’t. What you do right now matters most.
