About this episode

This episode discusses the often-overlooked aspect of gardening education: knowing what to do next after planting.

Today we are talking about the biggest miss in all of gardening education.  Everybody will tell you what to grow, what they are planting, what they are harvesting, but where are the garden teachers who are willing to share "What to do next?"  This is a HUGE question and big part of the garden success puzzle, yet, it is the last thing we think about when we plant those nursery starts in spring.   In This Episode You'll Learn: What to do when the excitement turns to overwhelm Why we need to know what to do next before the garden starts growing The three questions I ask myself to help me determine what I need to do next right now    Follow This To Know What To Do Next Quit While You're Ahead (what is no longer serving your garden) Protect What's Producing (these guys get all the attention) Plant With Purpose (strategically decide what you are planting, why, and where)   Resources Mentioned In This Episode: Come to my garden with me and walk through these exact three priorities with me as I work on what needs to be done in my garden right now.  Watch the full video here 👉 https://youtu.be/XCt3HHVVOBo   If this episode made something click…
