Ep 114 | What If You're Doing It Wrong...And How To Make Sure You Get It Right!

Season #8

What if the reason your garden struggles later in the season has nothing to do with how you planted it… but when?

In this episode of Growing Gardeners, I'm getting a little bossy as I share where I see gardeners get off track every spring—and how to avoid this altogether so that you can grow a garden that you love.

If you’ve ever planted your garden, watched it grow beautifully for a few weeks, and then slowly decline until it fades away, while you lose all excitement too, this episode will help you understand why.

Gardens aren’t meant to be planted once. They’re meant to grow continuously. And in today's episode I'm going to walk you through how to think differently about your garden so you can keep it producing, thriving, and evolving all season long.

 

In This Episode You'll Learn

 

• The biggest mistake gardeners make in spring

• Why planting your garden once leads to burnout and empty beds

• How succession planting keeps your garden productive

• Why planting in rows can create more problems than solutions

• The role of companion planting in a healthy garden

• How to plan for seasonal transitions in your garden

 

The 3 Biggest Spring Gardening Mistakes

 

1. Planting Everything at Once - When everything is planted at the same time, it all finishes at the same time. Learn how succession planting allows you to stagger your harvest and keep your garden producing longer.

2. Planting Crops Alone - Nature doesn’t grow in rows, and your garden doesn’t have to either. Learn how companion planting with herbs and flowers creates balance, reduces pests, and supports healthier plants.

3. Not Planning for Transitions - Plants don’t stay the same all season. Some will bolt, fade, and they will all finish. Learn how to anticipate these changes and keep your garden moving forward with confidence.
