Hey you guys and welcome back to the Beginners Garden podcast. And for those of you listening on YouTube,

thank you so much for watching today. In last week's episode, we talked about which cool season

time, is it the crop that you want to allocate that precious grow light space too? And a lot of times

that goes hand in hand with how many of a

particular plant that you need to plant to begin with. It's different planting one tomato seed

versus one bean seed in what you get as a yield. So we'll talk about that more obviously today
