how gardening is going this year 👩🌾
Is anyone else growing anything? 🫛🍅
This year I planted what seeds I had left from previous years and thought I would remember what all I planted but I don't 🤭 so some of these may be a surprise if i don't end up looking them up before they start producing. I also seem to have a pot I mixed two seeds in so I hope they'll turn out okay!
This year was more so chaos gardening. The sunflowers also grew from me putting some random sunflower seeds i thought wouldn't work from last year's harvest. I'm super proud of how well they're doing. Ill be trying to update progress more so we can all watch them grow together. ❤️

Gardening with leftover seeds from previous years has been a delightful experiment for me this season. I didn’t keep track of what I planted exactly, which added an element of surprise and excitement as I watch plants emerge and take shape. This kind of 'chaos gardening' has been surprisingly rewarding, showing that even seeds you think might be old or unusable can still germinate and flourish. Mixing seeds in one pot was a new challenge — I wasn’t sure if they’d coexist well, but it’s a fun way to learn about plant compatibility and growth habits right in my own backyard. The sunflowers, which sprouted from some random seeds saved from last year’s harvest, are particularly stunning. Their robust growth reminds me that patience and a bit of trial can yield beautiful results. If you’re considering trying gardening with saved seeds, here are some tips based on my experience: always label your seed packets or containers to avoid confusion, test a few seeds for germination before planting large quantities, and don’t be afraid of a little chaos — sometimes unplanned combinations bring the most joy. I’ve also found that sharing progress updates encourages me to stay consistent, and it’s inspiring to involve others in the journey. Gardening this way also feels like a healing process — nurturing plants from seeds that have their own history can deepen your connection to the natural cycle. Whether you have a green thumb or are just starting, growing your own food or flowers from saved seeds can be a rewarding, sustainable practice that brings both delicious harvests and personal satisfaction. Looking forward to more growth and sharing more updates as the season goes on!
