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!

    Questions My Garden Visitors Asked (and My Honest Answers)

    A bus full of seasoned gardeners showed up to tour my garden, and the questions they asked were so good I wrote every one down. How close is too close when you plant? Why is the garlic browning early? What do you do about squash vine borers? This episode walks through the real questions from that visit, with practical answers on companion planting, succession planting, tomato blight, and growing celery in a hot, humid climate. If you've ever looked at your own beds and wondered whether you're doing it right, this one's for you. Free Download: Beginner's Garden Resource Vault A growing library of free guides, cheat sheets, and planning tools to help you garden with less guesswork. → http://journeywithjill.net/free-garden-downloads Key Takeaways Companion planting can pack a bed full and cut your weeding to almost nothing. Celery and carrots make great neighbors — the celery helps pull excess moisture away. For early blight, prune low stems and learn to live with it instead of spraying. Beat squash vine borers by succession planting, not fighting each plant. A late-summer planting often escapes the pests that wreck your spring crops.
