Garden Plan 2026
Feb 19, 2026Howdy y’all 🧑🌾! Spring is just around the corner and as such, I’ve started thinking about what I’m goin’ to do gardenin’-wise in 2026. Last year was the first time I’ve ever tried to grow anything, so I wasn’t particularly ambitious. I grew some cherokee purple heirloom tomatoes which turned out amazing, and I harvested some blueberries from a bush that was already in the yard from before I bought the house. That’s it though. This year I’m planning on expanding the garden to additional zones and planting a wider variety of things. Exciting!

Why I email complete strangers
via Good Internet • 02/20/26It’s simple. Just send a message to the folks who you appreciate. They’ll really enjoy it. It’ll likely make their day! It takes virtually no time at all really, and you’ll feel good about it. It’s wins all around.
