What are you doing in your garden or for your garden right now?

Yes, if you're listening to this in real time in the middle of January.

I know January is a time where I get really excited about all the things that I can do and plan for this season's garden.

And maybe that's you too.

Last season, when I asked the members of my free Facebook group,

the Beginners Garden Shortcut Facebook group,

what type of content you would like to hear on the podcast?
