The weather and conditions are different every year, but nature responds to these changes and can guide us in our planting plan.

Before seed packets and planting calendars, gardeners looked to the land itself for guidance! When lilacs bloomed, beans went in. When dandelions appeared, potatoes followed.

This time-tested practice—called phenology—uses nature’s seasonal cues to tell us when conditions are truly right for planting. By tuning in to blooms, bird migrations, and leaf-out times, you can garden in rhythm with your local climate and plant with greater confidence each spring.
