This time last year, I was already harvesting peppers and tomatoes because I started everything early. But this season looks different—and honestly, I’m not complaining. It feels less hectic without the early pressure of preserving a big harvest.

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned this year? I don’t have to start everything too early. By waiting a bit, I avoided the stress of seedlings outgrowing their pots. I even direct sowed more seeds than usual—and it made life so much easier.

I’m also growing with more intention. We’ve adjusted our lifestyle and diet for health reasons, so I’m planting what we actually use. That means fewer beans, no sweet potatoes this time, and more of what suits us now.

And here’s a reminder I won’t forget—never skip soil prep! I rushed it in one of my raised beds before our month-long vacation, and that led to poor onion, leek, and beet harvests. But I made up for it this season by amending the soil and adding compost—and now my melon vines and summer squash are thriving, and the watermelon is catching up too.
