| 0:00.0 | Hey there and welcome to the Beginners Garden podcast. You know, of all the things that we want to |
| 0:05.1 | control in our gardens, one of the things that we know we can't control is the weather. But that |
| 0:10.9 | doesn't necessarily mean that we just have to leave everything up to chance. In today's |
| 0:15.9 | conversation, I'm going to introduce you to my guest, Dr. Alicia Wasula. She is a forensic meteorologist and she is also |
| 0:23.9 | a gardener. She's going to talk to us about whether climate is actually changing based on the data and what |
| 0:29.8 | that actually means for our gardens. We're also going to be talking about AI and how future |
| 0:35.2 | forecasting is starting to be changed by AI and what that might mean |
| 0:39.7 | in the future. And then we're going to dig deeper into what it means for us as the gardener. |
| 0:44.6 | What does it mean to track our rainfall? How much water does our garden actually need? And does that |
| 0:51.3 | make a difference depending on the time of year and the growth of the |
| 0:54.4 | crops and even the humidity? What about snowpack? Are you in an area where you get a lot of snow? |
| 0:59.9 | What does that mean for your garden? We're going to be tackling all of these subjects in more |
| 1:05.0 | in this fascinating conversation. I know you're going to love it just as much as I did. So let's welcome Dr. Alicia Wasula. |
| 1:13.5 | Real quick before we get into this conversation, I just wanted to let you know that for a limited time, just a week, we are giving away one of our most popular mini courses before you sew. |
| 1:25.0 | This course will help you know exactly which seeds to start indoors, which ones |
| 1:29.7 | to start directly in the garden, and also how to get started with indoor seed starting, |
| 1:35.0 | if this is something that's new to you. We'll also talk about heirlooms and hybrid seeds |
| 1:39.7 | and how to be successful when you plant your seeds directly in the ground. This is, like I said, one of our most popular mini courses, |
| 1:47.4 | and because I want to help you get started out right this year, |
| 1:50.1 | if you have not gone through it yet, I would love to give it to you for free. |
| 1:54.1 | Go to journey withjill.net slash before you sew. |
