Can you smell it? That subtle change in the air, the way the sun hangs just a little bit higher in the sky? The ground is starting to stir, and here at The Seed Guy®, that means one thing: It’s Go-Time. If you want a pantry full of Yellow Sweet Spanish Onions and Blue Lake Bush Beans this summer, the work starts right now.

"Planning the rows is just as important as planting the seeds."

The biggest mistake most gardeners make is waiting for the first 70-degree day to start thinking about their seeds. By then, the best varieties are often gone, and you’re playing catch-up with the weeds. To help you hit the ground running, I’ve put together the Seed Guy Spring Kickoff—three simple steps to ensure your most productive harvest ever.

The 3-Step Success Plan

  • 1. The "Mylar" Audit: Go to your seed storage and pull out those 10" x 14" Mylar bags. Pour out your 4-mil ziplocks and see what you have left from last year. Did you run low on Beefsteak Tomatoes? Do you have enough Provider Beans for a full row? Checking now prevents that "out of stock" panic in April.

  • 2. The Math of the Row: Use our Survival Seed Math. Think about how many people you’re feeding and map out your space. Remember, it’s better to have a small, well-tended garden than a massive one that gets away from you. Aim for independence, one row at a time.

  • 3. The "Dirt Therapy" Prep: As soon as the soil isn't "sticky" when you squeeze a handful, it’s time to start prepping. Add your compost, clear the debris, and get that Mycobacterium vaccae working for your mood. Your soil is a living thing—feed it now so it can feed you later.

A Legacy in Every Packet

When you buy your seeds from The Seed Guy®, you aren't just buying a product; you’re investing in a system designed for survival. Our Seed Armor packaging ensures that whether you plant today or store them for a rainy day, those heirlooms are protected. We’ve done the hard work of braving the snowdrifts to get them to you—now it’s your turn to take the baton and start the legacy in your own backyard.


Spring is a promise that winter can't keep. Don't let it catch you unprepared! Get your plan together, get your hands ready, and let’s make this the year of the harvest.
