Summary

This week we’re talking with Liz Zorab, the author of The Seasoned Gardener. In her book, she talks about how to grow organic food but work with the seasons as you do it. I am a big proponent of that as well. Today we’re talking about how to embrace the seasons and how she enjoys the garden instead of looks at it as work.

Wood Prairie Family Farms
A small family farm on the edge of Maine’s North Woods is located just six miles from the Canadian border.
For over 45 years they have dedicated themselves to time-honored organic regenerative farming practices and building up the fertile soil of Wood Prairie Family Farm.
Certified Organic by MOFGA (USDA-Accredited) since 1982. Their organic crops are sold to customers like you through their website and their FREE mail order catalog.

Organic REV
The first thing to understand about REV is that it is not an ordinary humic acid product that is chemically-extracted from leonardite, lignite, or other coals.
Rather, it is a 100% naturally-occurring carbon, humic acid & fulvic acid source - along with exceptionally high levels of naturally-occurring microbial biomass
that can increase nitrogen efficiency by up to 25%. REV replaces depleted soil carbon & bacterial biomass - and absorbs nutrients to make them more readily
available to plants via their root systems.

0:00.0	Hey you guys and welcome back to the podcast. I am thrilled to welcome back a returning guest today.
0:06.0	This is Liz Zorab. She is a gardener in the UK and I love reading and talking to her about her
0:13.9	approach to gardening and I thought this is the perfect subject for us to talk about right now
0:18.9	at the end of May heading into the busy garden season
0:22.1	because she really focuses a lot on teaching us how to enjoy our garden. She does this in a variety
0:30.2	of ways. One of them is shifting our mindset, giving ourselves a little bit of grace. She's going to
0:36.6	talk to us about all of those
0:38.0	things. But the other thing she encourages gardeners to do is to garden seasonally. Now, this is not
0:44.7	going to be new to you. If you've been on the podcast or listened to the podcast, you know that I
0:49.1	100% agree there. But she's going to be going a little bit deeper. In fact, she wrote a book on it.
0:54.7	Her latest book is called The Seasoned Gardner. And she talks to us about embracing the seasons
0:59.7	and working with the seasons the way that they are instead of looking at our garden is so much
1:05.4	work and tasks to be completed, but a place to enjoy throughout the year. I know you're going to love this conversation
1:12.4	with her anytime we can talk to a gardener who's had a lot of experience and can give us some
1:18.1	quick tips that are important for our garden, but also some big picture concepts is gold as far as I'm
1:24.5	concerned. I know you're going to love this conversation, so let's get to talking to
1:28.0	Liz Zorab. Welcome, I'm Jill, and 10 years ago I started my first garden as a new stay-at-home mom
1:35.0	looking to cut grocery costs and grow my own food. Over the years, with many failures and successes,
1:41.1	I stumbled my way into becoming a gardener. And six years ago, I started this podcast
1:45.6	to help others grow their own food as well. By tuning in each Tuesday, I hope that you leave
1:50.9	inspired and with practical tips and that gardening will change your life as it did mine.
1:59.3	Hey, Liz, welcome back to the podcast. So glad to have you back here. Thank you so much for inviting me.
