0:00.0	Are you thinking about planting a fall garden? Hopefully if you're a regular listener to this podcast,
0:06.0	then I've convinced you to try. But I have to be honest with you. In my experience, the fall garden
0:12.4	has not been the easiest. The summer garden is way simpler and even the spring. But still,
0:19.3	the fall garden has so much to offer, and every time I've
0:23.5	made the effort to try, I have been glad that I did. And if I've convinced you to try, where do you
0:30.6	start? Well, today we're going to be talking about nine fall crops for the beginning gardener. These are the ones that I would recommend that
0:39.5	you consider starting out with because their learning curve is a little bit shorter. And then we'll
0:44.9	talk about three that I would consider are more immediate crops, but they're ones that are

0:55.3	episode to start your own fall garden and have a better plan moving forward this year.

1:19.7	big or small.
1:20.8	I certainly don't know at all, but I can share what I've learned and bring guests along
1:24.8	who can offer much more wisdom than I have.
1:27.3	I'm so glad you're here at the Beginners Garden podcast today.
1:30.5	Let's dive in.
1:32.2	What are the best crops for a beginning gardener to start out with for the fall garden?
1:38.1	That's what we're going to be talking about today.
1:40.9	But let me caution you about one thing.
1:43.8	If there's anything that I have learned over the years, both in my own fall garden,
