Every winter, I count down the days until my backyard explodes with green again. Three months feels like forever when all I want is to see those fresh leaves popping up. Last year, I started prepping early—composting kitchen scraps and tucking bulbs under the soil before the frost hit. It made a huge difference. My plants came back stronger and greener than ever. Now, I spend chilly afternoons flipping through seed catalogs and dreaming up new corners for wildflowers. Keeping my tools clean and organized helps me feel connected to the garden, even when it’s just mud and sticks out there. It’s wild how much joy a little dirt under your nails can bring. Can’t wait for that first burst of green! #gardeningtips #springvibes #plantlife #backyardgoals #Gardening
