You're listening to the Joe Gardner Show, the podcast all about gardening, where we cover everything you need to know to grow like a pro, no experience required.

And now here's your guide, National Gardening television host and the Joe behind Joe Gardner, Joe Lample.

Hi, everybody. This episode is one of your favorites curated from the archives because it is

perfectly relevant to right now and quite different than my typical studio recorded shows.

And I think that will be a nice change-up for today in several ways. So here it is, and I hope you enjoy it. Today, I have a nice changeup for today in several ways. So here it is, and I hope you enjoy it.

Today, I have a nice twist of a podcast for you, and it comes in two ways. First, I realized

it's been a while since I've done a solo episode, and I don't know about you, but I think

it's time that I catch you up on a few things happening around here in my garden,

things like some of the challenges and wins so far this year, what's new and what's ahead for the rest of the summer and beyond, and a couple gardening-related general observations that I wanted

to share with you today. So it's definitely a mixed bag of information, but I think there are

plenty of takeaways scattered about throughout

this episode. So that's the first thing. The other twist is something I've only done once before

in the 321 weekly episodes to date back in episode 19. And I'm not talking about a particular

topic, but more about the overall show, really?

Do you know what I'm referring to?

Probably not because that was nearly six years ago,

but if you do, you definitely get the super fan award.

So with that bit of a tease,

let's get into this new episode,

and as we do, thanks to our sponsors for today's episode.

For as long as I've been a gardener as my passion and my profession, I've been a fan

and a loyal user of DRAM products.
