You guys, I had the best garlic harvest I have ever had in 2020. It absolutely blew my mind.

And I've been growing garlic for the past six or seven years, a long time, at least in my span of how long I've been gardening.

But I was blown away by the results that I got this year. Now, I've had good

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. You may have seen my photos on Instagram when I harvested garlic this

year. I could not have been more excited. I planted more garlic this year. Usually I just plant a full

4x8 race bed, but this year I added
