Today marks the beginning of the second full week of Spring in the northern hemisphere, even if some of us are stuck in second winter. Share your garden goals, projects, challenges, and successes for this growing season; share your tips, tricks, and garden hacks, or anything else you’d like. Let’s all help each other grow something beautiful together!

If folks are into it, I’d like to make this a weekly thread for everyone to share updates and assistance as the year progresses. Please let me know if that’s something you’d all like.

    I bought a little olive tree to put on my balcony. I nearly bought it during winter but I convinced myself to wait for it to get a little warmer. Just have to get some potting soil and a larger pot and it should hopefully do well? I saw my downstairs neighbours have one that’s thriving so the climate should be ok :)

    I guess I have a question: do plants really need different soil types? The little card that came with the tree says it requires special Mediterranean soil, but that sounds kinda fake to me tbh.
