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.
Check them out and use my code JILL5 for 5% off.
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 there, I hope you're doing well, and if you're in the U.S., happy Thanksgiving week. |
| 0:05.8 | This week, I'm definitely turning to some reflection and gratefulness, particularly when it comes to my garden. |
| 0:13.1 | I'm also recording this just a few weeks ahead of time, and last night happened to be our first freeze. |
| 0:20.8 | So I'm definitely in a mode of reflection and leaning |
| 0:23.8 | into the season. And I thought this week would actually be the perfect week to talk about garden |
| 0:28.9 | wins in 2023 because it is a week that we tend to focus more on being grateful in many areas |
| 0:37.1 | of our lives. But I think gardeners, we tend to steer toward |
| 0:41.8 | gratefulness because we know that whatever the garden produces for us, it's just so much to be |
| 0:48.5 | grateful for in general. And I already did a podcast episode on what didn't work out as planned |
| 0:54.0 | a few weeks ago. |
| 0:54.8 | We'll list that in the show notes if you hadn't caught that one yet. |
| 0:57.9 | But this one I thought would be good to talk about the things that did go well this year. |

| 1:14.1 | that I learned this year skewed more toward me as a gardener and how I took some time to reflect |
| 1:21.5 | and to plan a little differently in 2023. That will actually continue changing and morphing in 2024. And I hope as a gardener, |
| 1:32.1 | you're not only going to leave this episode with some quick takeaways of things that you can do |
| 1:37.2 | to make your garden more productive next year, but also make your garden serve you more in your |
| 1:42.9 | lifestyle as a gardener. |
| 1:45.0 | Welcome, I'm Jill and 10 years ago I started my first garden as a new stay-at-home mom looking to cut grocery costs and grow my own food. |
| 1:55.0 | Over the years, with many failures and successes, I stumbled my way into becoming a gardener. |
