Welcome back to the Beginners Garden podcast. We are continuing our conversation with Peter and Rebecca. Peter is from the Garden family and Rebecca is from Happy Heart Gardens. Peter Gardens in Southwest Ohio, Zone 6B, I believe he said, and Rebecca Gardens in Southern Alabama, Zone 9A, if I remember correctly.

0:21.9

Anyway, so we're talking about gardening from north to south and how it differs depending on where

0:26.1

you're located.

0:26.7

I'm in Arkansas Zone 8A, but on the border of 7B.

1:26.5

much for joining me again for this podcast where we're talking

1:29.9
