| 0:00.0 | Hey there and welcome back to the Beginners Garden podcast. I'm so glad you're joining me today. |
| 0:05.3 | Today's episode is going to be part practical and part personal, and I hope you're really going |
| 0:11.5 | to enjoy the blend of both of these, especially as we head into the busy holiday season. |
| 0:17.9 | One of my favorite things about gardening is that it holds the perfect tension between |
| 0:23.5 | predictability and surprise. It allows us to lean into what we know while exploring what we have to |
| 0:31.2 | learn. And it's the exploring part that keeps gardening fresh and vibrant. It's never boring and it always offers possibilities |
| 0:41.0 | and new lessons to learn. With that in mind, today's episode is going to be all about my reflections |
| 0:47.1 | of what I learned in 2024, my 11th season of gardening. First, I'll share new varieties, 15 new varieties of vegetables, |
| 0:57.3 | herbs, and flowers that I tried in 2024, and I'll tell you how they ended up working out in |
| 1:02.6 | my garden. And as you're seed shopping this year, hopefully you'll go away with some new varieties |
| 1:08.1 | to try, but you also hopefully will hear in my voice what |
| 1:11.8 | made me select certain varieties. That way, it'll help you know what kind of varieties you |

| 1:21.0 | growing lessons that I learned along with some updates since the last episode I did |
| 1:26.7 | about my fall garden. |
| 1:28.8 | I have a couple of things that were actually surprises since I talked to you last. |
| 1:33.0 | Third, if you've been listening to the podcast this year, then you know that 2024 for me |
| 1:37.9 | held a lot of changes and a lot of those were in regard to lifestyle changes. |
| 1:43.9 | In that segment, I'm going to reflect on what I learned with some of those were in regard to lifestyle changes. In that segment, I'm going to reflect on what I |
| 1:46.8 | learned with some of those lifestyle decisions and how this may impact my garden in 2025 and |
| 1:53.5 | beyond. Finally, I've got some updates for you in terms of the podcast and what you can expect |
| 1:59.3 | as we close out this season and as we begin our ninth season of the podcast and what you can expect as we close out this season and as we begin our ninth |
