| 0:00.0 | Hey there, so glad you joined me today. Today we're going to be wrapping up this year's popular |
| 0:05.9 | monthly series, What Can Go Wrong? Now, I may bring it back from time to time, but I definitely |
| 0:11.9 | hope that you have enjoyed all of these episodes so far. For today's episode, I thought it was |
| 0:17.6 | perfectly fitting to talk about spinach. Spinach is actually one of the most cold, |
| 0:24.0 | hardy plants that I grow, and it may be one of the most cold, hearty plants that you grow. |
| 0:30.4 | Spinach has not been something that has been entirely easy for me to figure out, though, |
| 0:35.0 | but thankfully I'm not the only one. When I was researching for this |
| 0:38.6 | episode, I came across a spinach growing guide from Cornell University. On these guides, which are |
| 0:44.5 | really helpful, by the way, they classify different crops based on how easy they are to grow. |
| 0:50.6 | Well, in spinach, it is classified as moderately difficult. So if you've had problems growing |
| 0:57.4 | spinach in the past, maybe that makes you feel better that it wasn't just you. But I will tell you |
| 1:03.1 | that over lots of the mistakes that I'm going to be talking with you about today, I have |
| 1:08.5 | learned how to grow it. I've learned some of the tricks that it takes to be |
| 1:12.5 | able to grow successfully. And now it's one of the stars in my winter and early spring garden. |
| 1:18.7 | So if you are growing spinach or you are even considering growing spinach, today's episode is going |
| 1:24.6 | to be perfect for you. Welcome. I'm Jill and in 2013 I started my first garden as a new |
| 1:31.6 | stay-at-home mom wanting to do my part to provide for my family. Over the years, I stumbled my way |
| 1:36.9 | into becoming a gardener and in this podcast I want to help other new gardeners just like I was |
| 1:42.0 | grow their own gardens too. And don't worry, if you're not a |
| 1:45.1 | new gardener, there's plenty here for you as well. You'll hear gardening tips, techniques, and |
| 1:49.5 | troubleshooting both from me and from guests. And my hope is that you'll turn into a lifetime |
| 1:54.2 | gardener too. Let's dig into today's episode. I have a confession to make. I can't tell you when the first time it was that I |
