  • Summary

  • Yes, you can grow your own your own food garden! With easy-to-understand conversations and expert interviews, you'll find a gardening "partner" in the Beginner's Garden Podcast. Whether you want to garden in raised beds, containers, or in the ground, you can grow your own food and have fun doing it! The host, Jill McSheehy, started her first garden in 2013, and she's proof that someone with no background or prior knowledge can learn how to grow their own food -- no green thumb required! While Jill herself gardens in Arkansas (zone 8a), the podcast is not region-specific, so if you're gardening in the United States or a similar temperate climate, the Beginner's Garden Podcast is for you.

  • 393 - 10 Garden Projects for Fall & Winter

    393 - 10 Garden Projects for Fall & Winter
    Nov 5 2024

    This week Jill is talking about 10 different projects you can do in the fall and winter seasons. Fall and winter are a great time to knock out some bigger projects because the slower season allows you more time to work on the big things that might take awhile and also plan them out to work best for you.
