You're listening to the Joe Gardner Show, the podcast all about gardening, where we cover

everything you need to know to grow like a pro, no experience required.

And now here's your guide, National Gardening Television Host, and the Joe Behind Joe Gardner,

Joe Lample.

Hi everybody, this is Joe Lample, the Joe Behind Joe Gardner, and welcome to the Joe

Gardner Show.

Well, I thought we'd kind of reflect back on the midway point in the year, the growing

season of 2020, kind of like half time, just after half time, we're coming into the

middle of August.

And I would say the theme of 2020 so far, this gardening season, is a gardening season

like none other.

If I've heard it once, I've heard it a thousand times at least, and I've been a Gardner

for most of my life, and involved in professional horticulture for over 30 years, and I agree.

This is a year for the record books.

Now every year definitely has its challenges, and I especially love that about gardening,

but some years bring more of those than others.

And this was the year of all years for that.

So after hearing so many of you all talking about and posting and senior pictures across

all the social media channels and then hearing from many of my students in the online

gardening academy and the tons of emails that came in, I just thought it would be interesting

to put that question out there to our audience on what's been your biggest gardening challenge

this year so far.
