Hi everybody this is Joe Lample the Joe behind Joe Gardner and welcome to the

Joe Gardner show today is an encore episode on succession planting it was one of

our most popular episodes and this is a great time to be revisiting this topic of making the most of our

seasons and maximizing the harvest as we gear up for another productive year in our food

garden. Today we get to have the opportunity to once again welcome Meg Cowden on to the podcast.

She's well known for her vegetable gardening skills, especially when it comes to finding ways

to successfully extend the season on the front and the back end

of what most people consider the traditional time to grow their edibles.

Meg has never been one to stay between the lines and pushing the limits with what she can produce from her frigid northern Minnesota garden defies the odds.

Yet Meg not only does it, she keeps on trying to do it better.

And we went and told her story, as you might have heard in a past episode,

when we took the cameras and the crew, up to her garden to film an episode of Growing

to Greener World a couple years ago ago and we'll have links in the

show notes for that we'll talk about that a little bit later but suffice it to say

it was quite amazing so thank goodness she is finally out with her brand new and

incredible book all about this subject on

mastering the art of succession planting by growing a bounty of vegetables, fruits, and

flowers and the title to her book is perfect for the subject. Plant, grow, harvest, repeat.

And here's one of the many things I love about Meg.

She has decades of experience crafting her skills and curates the best of that to share with

her audience and it's not just about what she can grow from her own garden

Meg is on a mission to extend your growing season and increase your garden yield
