About this episode

Stacey and Rick discuss the inevitability of plant deaths in gardening and how to learn from these experiences to improve future attempts.

The more you garden, the more plants you kill, it’s an obligatory part of the journey. But just because a plant dies, doesn’t mean it isn’t worth another shot. Stacey and Rick discuss reasons why a first attempt may not be successful, but how you can learn and move forward from it.
