Episode 74: Rebecca- Happy Heart Gardens, Backyard Gardening in PA and AL The Growing Revolution - Smart PotCast
-
- Home & Garden
In our latest installment of The Growing Revolution Smart PotCast, we spoke with Rebecca who goes by @happyheartgardens on social media. She is an enthusiastic backyard gardener who grew up on a dairy farm in northern Pennsylvania, but for the recent past has lived in Southern Alabama.
She's been gardening hard for the last 15 years or so and had to overcome a slight learning curve after moving down south with her husband. The heat, humidity and pressure from pests and disease presented a challenge but Rebecca learned how to adapt and overcome.
We discuss what she learned from having such a large change in gardening climate, and what kept her going, not giving up. One of her suggestions is to choose the right plant for your climate. Not all plants can do well in the South, and there isn't much point in growing them. Or, if you do, grow a variety that can handle the heat.
Rebecca has been a longtime user of Smart Pot containers and loves how easy they are to move, which helps to extend her growing season when frost threatens her sensitive plants.
