0:00.0	Hey there. So how did your summer garden of 2020 end up going? Well, not so well? I've heard from a lot of people and it sounds like the results have been mixed. The truth is the results are mixed in most of our gardens, I think. I don't think many of our gardens have had total fails or total successes. And that's the beauty about gardening.
0:23.2	One of my favorite things to do at the end of a growing season, whether that's a spring
0:27.9	garden, a summer garden, or a fall and winter garden is to reflect and evaluate how my garden
0:34.4	actually went. Little by little, what worked, what didn't, what successes did I have,
0:40.6	what failures did I have, and what can I learn from it? But not only me, what might you be able to
0:47.2	learn from the successes and failures in my garden? And maybe by hearing some of mine, you'll gain
0:53.6	new tips, new tricks, new warnings, things that don't work. And maybe by hearing some of mine, you'll gain new tips, new tricks, new warnings,
0:55.7	things that don't work. And maybe it will help you in your own method of evaluating your own
1:01.7	garden for this year. In both this week's and next week's episodes, I am going to be going over
1:08.5	the successes from my garden this year, from my summer garden in particular, and my failures, which are just lessons that I can learn.
1:19.2	Today we're going to be talking about the successes, but make sure to listen in next week because I've got some pretty dismal failures as well.
1:32.0	Hi, I'm Jill, in 2013 I started my first garden having no background, knowledge, or experience whatsoever. Now I am embarking on
1:38.0	my eighth season of growing my own vegetables, fruits, and herbs, and I'm proof that you don't have
1:43.1	to have decades of experience
1:44.5	to grow your own garden, big or small. I certainly don't know at all, but I can share what I've
1:49.8	learned and bring guests along who can offer much more wisdom than I have. I'm so glad you're
1:54.8	here at the Beginners Garden podcast today. Let's dive in. Even though my summer garden hasn't completely wrapped up yet, we don't typically get
2:04.1	our first frost till late October, early November, and my summer garden still has vegetables
2:10.1	in it.
2:11.1	I can still look back and see what went well and what didn't go well over the season,
2:17.4	and I realize that if I don't get
2:19.0	these written down, then I'll forget a lot of it. I will, and you will too. So I would encourage
