The 2025 gardening season begins! Growing seedlings for tomatoes, peppers and tomatillos. Lettuces, arugula and radishes will be planted directly outside now as they are heartier and can handle the cold temps. Much more to come! #backyardgardeners #yardtotable #chicagogardeners #zone6agardening

Having all the feels after volunteering at a local seed swap today, as the onsite master gardener answering questions.

Final reminder! #chicagogardeners tomorrow is national seed swap day! I’ll be at Kilbourn Park on the northwest side at the seed swap answering questions. It’s a free event- bring seeds to swap or donate! There’s still time to pick up some native seeds, get the 60/30 day cold stratification in!

Snowing outside. But seeds of hope for sunnier days and life are getting sown in the basement! Today it’s all native wildflowers that need 60/90 day cold stratification. #winterseedsowing #wintergardening #chicagogardeners #nativepollinatorgarden
