Do you know the feeling you get when you’ve learned something that changes the way you look at life?
Like the first time you baked a cake from scratch and decided to swear off box mixes forever.
Or when you finally figured out how to fold a fitted sheet in a way that would make The Home Edit proud?
When that happens, it feels like you’ve unlocked a superpower within yourself. Your day has more joy. You live your life with a bit more confidence.
Today is one of those days for you.
I’ve witnessed countless gardeners make the same two mistakes year after year:
- Waiting until Mother’s Day weekend to plant their gardens. I get it – you don’t want to start too early and have your garden wiped out by a late frost.
- Only planting that weekend. Is there any other time of the year to plant? Limiting your planting to just one weekend significantly reduces your harvest potential and can lead to disappointment if certain crops fail.
Here’s the secret that will change the way you garden forever: our Chicagoland growing season lasts from March through December. Which means you can be planting your garden and enjoying fresh harvests for ten months of the year.
Certain plants, like salad greens, only love growing before Mother’s Day and into the early winter. If you only plant a garden in May, you’re missing out on two-thirds of our growing season!
Never miss a growing season again.
That’s why I’m thrilled to share my FREE Chicago Planting Calendar with you! It’s the perfect guide to help you navigate our three distinct Chicago growing seasons and ensure you’re planting at the right time for optimal harvests.
