Скачать или смотреть A Quiet Dream of Spring - Seed Starting for 2026

To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow. Spring will officially arrive in just 53 days, with only 35 days until the first planting in the garden. That means the time to start seeds for the 2026 garden season is here.

In this video, I’m starting seeds for my spring garden in zone 7a, including green onions, leeks, peppers, and even tomatoes, so they have plenty of time to grow strong and healthy before planting out. I’ll walk you through my seed-starting process from start to finish, including how I mix my soil, the containers I choose, and how I use temperature, humidity, and light to support successful germination and early growth.

Alongside garden prep, I’m also sharing my weekly meal prep, a special date energy ball treat for tea time, and a look ahead at our meal plan for the coming week.

Seed starting season is one of my favorite times of year, a gentle rhythm of preparation, patience, and hope that fits perfectly into this slow, holistic life.
