Welcome to your March Garden Newsletter! ๐ท
Spring is almost here, and you can feel the shift in the air. The garden is waking up, seed catalogs are dog-eared, and itโs officially time to start planting with intention and excitement.
Hereโs what weโre focusing on this month:
๐ผ Planting Beautiful Cut Flowers
Now is the perfect time to start planning (and in many cases planting!) blooms that will fill your home with fresh bouquets. Weโll talk about easy-to-grow favorites that give you armfuls of color all season long.
๐พ Safe Plants for Cat-Loving Homes
If you share your space with curious kitties, Iโve gathered beautiful plant options that are non-toxic and safe โ so you can grow confidently without worry.
๐ฐ How to Make Seed Starter Newspaper Cups
This is one of my favorite simple, earth-friendly projects. You donโt need fancy trays โ just newspaper and a few minutes.
Hereโs how to make them:
What Youโll Need:
โข Newspaper (black and white print works best)
โข A small glass or jar
โข Scissors
โข Tape (optional)
Step 1: Cut newspaper into strips about 4โ5 inches tall and long enough to wrap around your jar with overlap.
Step 2: Wrap the strip around the jar, leaving about 1โ2 inches hanging below the bottom of the jar.
Step 3: Fold the bottom excess inward to create the base of your cup. Press firmly against the bottom of the jar to shape it.
Step 4: Slide the jar out gently. If needed, secure the seam with a small piece of tape (though often it holds just fine on its own).
Step 5: Fill with seed-starting soil, plant your seeds, and lightly water.
When itโs time to transplant, you can place the entire cup directly into the soil โ the newspaper will naturally break down.
March is all about fresh beginnings. Tiny seeds, big dreams, and the quiet magic of watching something grow.
