Growing a garden is complicated. Especially when you live in Montana or anywhere else with a short growing season. Although our soils are rich, our seasons are short and it is vital to time our planting perfectly in order to ensure a successful garden. We do this by starting our seeds indoors in the late winter months and then transplanting them outdoors in the late spring/early summer. This ensures the tomatoes and other plants have ample time to grow and can hit the ground growing when our season starts.

Choosing what to grow can be tough. We still haven’t completely planned out our entire garden and with limited indoor space, we had to make some tough choices. For us, an obvious plant to start early indoors was our tomato plants. 🌱 Tomatoes are delicious and when grown correctly, produce an enormous amount of produce. For our tomato 🍅 plants 🌱 we chose:

Purple Cherokee
Black Krim
Heirloom from our own seeds

We also chose to grow a number of varieties of flowers. 💐 🌸 🌺 These will really add a lot of character to our garden this year and we hope to use some of them for decoration around our house 🏠. Below is a list of the different types of flowers we chose to grow (All are perennials):

We are really excited about what we have planted and are ready for summer! Please comment below on what your favorite kind of flowers/plants are to grow and we wish you a very happy spring :)
