0:00.0	You're listening to the Beginners Garden podcast. I'm Jill McShehehehe with Journey Withjil.net,
0:06.1	and my goal is to give beginning gardeners the full-fledged research mode, especially when it comes to the hopes and dreams
0:39.2	that I have for next season's garden. I have an entire Amazon wish list that I share with my
0:46.0	family of all the books that I want to read in the off-season. It's one of my favorite things to do.
0:51.6	It occurred to me that maybe you're like I am. Maybe you like spending the
0:56.6	offseason, planning and dreaming, and gathering information and trying to find different ways to
1:02.4	tweak your garden and make it better. Or if you're getting ready to start your first garden,
1:07.1	you are all ears trying to learn everything that there is to know. If so, I have got you
1:13.8	covered in this next series of podcast episodes. I am super excited to share with you. Authors of some of my
1:21.9	favorite gardening books that I've read over the past year, a few of them are just coming out as we release these podcast episodes,
1:29.9	so I've got a little bit of a mix. But most important, I've chosen books that I think would be

1:42.6	still looking to learn more. These books are not going to be
1:46.2	your university level, sciencey, get lost in the weeds type books. These are books that you can
1:52.8	read in just a week or so, maybe even less depending on how fast you read. But more importantly,
1:59.4	these books are easy reads. They're full of practical
2:02.4	information and I would highly recommend every single one of them. In the next several episodes,
2:09.8	you're going to hear directly from the authors of some of my favorite gardening books this year.
2:14.8	But we're not just going to talk about the books. We're also going to
2:17.8	give you some practical tips that even if you don't choose to read all of the books, you're going to
2:22.8	get something out of each episode in this series. As always, I'm going to have a blog post that
2:28.5	highlights what the guest author and I discuss and also a link to where you can get a copy of their books.
