We are just a few days away from the official first day of summer here in the Northern

Hemisphere. And with that, you'll likely find that your garden is going through sort of a transition.

This is something that I didn't even know existed my first garden season, but now it is like

clockwork. It's something that I know to look for

and there are tasks that I need to do

around this time of year.

Depending on where you live,

this transition may happen earlier

than what we're talking about today or later.

For me, a lot of these tasks I am doing

at the end of May to the first part of June,

but depending on where you're located,

you could have been doing these a couple of months ago or you are just in time to be able

to start doing some of these early transitional tasks. So today on the podcast, I'm going to give

you a list of tasks that you can expect to be doing right around now to get prepared to close

out your spring garden and to fully embrace your summer garden. Hi, I'm Jill and in 2013 I

started my first garden having no background, knowledge, or experience whatsoever. Now I am

embarking on my eighth season of

growing my own vegetables, fruits, and herbs, and I'm proof that you don't have to have decades

of experience to grow your own garden, big or small. I certainly don't know at all, but I can share

what I've learned and bring guests along who can offer much more wisdom than I have. I'm so glad you're here at the Beginners Garden podcast today.

Let's dive in.
