Welcome to the Beginners Garden podcast today.

We're going to be talking about a subject that you may be dealing with right now if you are starting seeds indoors.

And if you're not starting seeds indoors yet, but it's something that might be on your radar in the future,

then you're definitely going to want to listen to this.

We're going to be talking about potting up.

It's a phrase that I try to

define whenever I use it. I don't like to throw around garden jargon. I try not to because I know

so many first timers listen to the podcast, but I don't know that I've actually taken the time

to thoroughly explain what it is, why you need to do it, maybe sometimes why you

might not need to do it, and which crops need it, and more specifically how to do it. So today,

we're going to be talking about a very critical aspect of indoor seed starting that I don't think

gets talked about enough. And doing it and doing it well can make a big

difference in starting out your plants right. Hi, I'm Jill. And almost 10 years ago, I started my first

garden as a new stay-at-home mom trying to cut our grocery bill. Over the years, I stumbled my way

into becoming a gardener, and I never

looked back. On this podcast, you'll hear gardening, how-toes, and inspiration, both from me and from

guests. And whether you're a new gardener like I was or still learning, like we all are,

my hope is that gardening changes your life like it has mine, and this podcast will help you

along the way.

First of all then, what is potting up? I think the only other term I can remember hearing

for this particular garden practice is up potting. So I think you can probably figure out

that we're talking about the same thing.
