Welcome. Tyler Gardens is a small garden site from someone who works in tech, started growing in 2020, and writes down what actually worked the second time.
I garden in Garden Zone 7A, in the rural foothills of the Appalachian mountains. Use the zone as a guide; shift a week either way for your own frost dates.
Begin with one kit
These are curated assortment guides — not a shop. Links go to retailers for convenience. I am not currently earning commissions; if that changes, the Disclosures page will say so.
- Beginner Raised-Bed Starter Kit — if you have yard space and want a first bed.
- Patio Container Garden Kit — balcony, stoop, or patio.
- Soil & Compost Essentials Kit — feed the dirt before you buy more tools.
Then check the season
The Almanac is the month-by-month list I actually work from. Pick the current month and ignore the rest until you need it.
Get garden notes
Use Get garden notes in the header (or the signup on the homepage) for the planting calendar and a short note when I send one. No spam, and you can leave anytime.
