Welcome to the Beginner's Garden Podcast! This is the podcast with easy-to-understand resources, tips, and information to help beginning gardeners get the most out of their gardening adventure -- big or small. When I began gardening in 2013, I scoured books and Internet resources to find all the information I could. Although good information was abundant, I had trouble understanding all the gardening lingo and sifting through the information to figure out what would work for me. In this podcast, my aim is to provide helpful information while explaining the gardening lingo as we go. I want to equip YOU to have the best start ever this gardening season!

Great Veg Gardening Advice

I love your helpful veg growing advice 🥕and especially enjoy the Digging Deeper segment at the end of some episodes. It’s wonderful to hear about your faith. God bless you. Greetings from Scotland. 😊

Episode 144 Gardening in the Heat

I loved this episode even though I live in England where
heat is seldom a problem although we do have the occasional ‘scorchio’.
The lessons hold true for all climates and settings. I find the secrets (and answers) to good plant management lie in careful, considered observation, a desire to nurture and science. Thank you, Jill for inviting Nicole to be your guest.

Great gardening podcast

I love how it’s packed with facts but you seriously need to use metric system. I have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to measures. Sizes, degrees, weights, etc… It would be really useful for people outside USA if you could use metric/international units. Or at least, say both so everyone understands regardless if they’re in or outside US?
Other than that, I love it.
