Summary

Many people discount themselves from growing a successful garden because they think they don’t have the time, space, money, or skill.

The truth is that gardening can be simple, inexpensive, and successful, even for a beginner. As many are gearing up for the upcoming spring/summer season, come chat all things gardening with us!

The tragic diagnosis that led Carrie to pursue health through food
Starting small when you are overhauling your food sourcing
Why you don’t have to be an expert to take responsibility for your own health
How to get started with gardening even if you have limited time, space, and budget
Deciding what to grow and how to get it started
Foolproof seed-starting setup for a new gardener

0:00.0	Welcome back to the Simple Farmhouse Life Podcast. Today, we're going to check gardening.
0:04.6	It is that time of year. I'm sure all of you are very excited about it. I know that I am. I'm
0:09.2	really just, I cannot wait to have bare feet out in that hot sun. Today, we're going to be chatting
0:15.3	with Carrie from the Little Palette Farmhouse. We have just all things gardening to discuss. So,
0:24.1	join us for this interview. My name is Lisa, mother of seven in creator of the blog and YouTube
0:30.0	channel Farmhouse on Boone. Join me as I share with you my love for creating a handmade home from
0:35.5	scratch cooking and a little mom and entrepreneur life along the way.
0:45.7	Well, thank you so much for joining us here, Carrie. I was just reading through your entire story.
0:51.6	So I know you on Instagram and YouTube as someone who helps people learn how to garden and you

1:36.8	And like a lot of people, I did have parents and grandparents that that garden, you know,
1:42.2	especially post World War II. And I would love to tell you that it was them that got me into
1:48.4	gardening. But it was actually a bit more of a harrowing story after I graduated medical school
1:55.2	in England with a degree in physiology. I'd moved to London where I met and married a rugby
2:01.6	athlete who was an international athlete. And his life was cut short when just eight months into
2:07.9	our marriage. He was diagnosed with Lou Garry's disease or also known as motor neuron disease.
