You know how much I love growing in my greenstock vertical planters. I have five of them.

But to be honest with you, there are certain crops that I haven't quite dialed in well,

or I've been a little bit too scared to even try. And that is larger crops like tomatoes and cucumbers

and squash and watermelon and so many more. But I know that it can be done because I see the folks at

greenstock doing this all the time. That's why I decided to invite Susie, their head gardener,

to the podcast to enlighten me and to enlighten you on how we can grow larger crops in our

greenstocks. And I thought this conversation comes at a perfect time because

their five-tier original planters, which is their deeper planters, perfect for these larger

crops. They are on sale right now for their Mother's Day sale. So win-win, and we'll have all of

that information listed in the show notes, and I'll talk to you more about it in the middle of

the show. So keep listening for all of those details. But because this is such an exciting topic

and so many possibilities await, let's get to our conversation with Susie. Welcome to the

Beginners Garden podcast. I'm Jill and I'm so glad you're here. In this podcast, you'll find easy to understand

conversations about how to grow your own food. As a first time gardener myself 11 years ago,

I remember what it's like to feel overwhelmed. So I want to make gardening so doable for you

that you'll find yourself falling in love with gardening just like I did.

Let's dig in.

This episode is brought to you in part by Garden in Minutes.

Today on the podcast, we're going to be talking about how important it is to stay on

fertilizing, especially with these larger plants.

And if you're wanting an organic option, Garden in Minutes has a new liquid organic

plant food that is changing the way growers think about plant nutrition.
