Why Most Gardens Fail in February (Not Spring)

Описание: Most gardens do not fail because of bad weather.

Why most gardens fail has nothing to do with spring — it has everything to do with February.

In this video, we break down why most gardens fail before the season even begins, and how a simple planning system prevents missed planting windows, wasted space, and rushed decisions.

Most people think gardening starts when the frost clears. It does not. The structure of your garden should already exist before a single seed touches soil. Timing, frost dates, crop selection, and layout planning determine your harvest long before May arrives.

🌱 THE FEBRUARY ADVANTAGE
→ Find your average last frost date
→ Work backward to create a seed starting schedule
→ Choose crops based on value per square foot
→ Map sunlight, vertical space, and water access
→ Build a planting timeline before buying supplies
→ Avoid the seed starting mistakes that shrink harvest

This is not about planting early.

It is about thinking early.

🧠 CORE PRINCIPLE
Why most gardens fail is simple.

They are reactive.

Successful gardens are structured.

Not inspired.
Not rushed.
Not built on impulse purchases.
