Ellen Mary doesn't believe in New Years resolutions, in fact she thinks they should be composted right away and a new goal based January is a better approach. In this episode hear why resolutions are destined to failed (but that doesn't make you a failure) and how goal setting your year ahead (especially your garden) is a more sustainable approach to help keep the January blues away.
