Well, hey there, and welcome back to the Beginners Garden podcast. With Thanksgiving, just a couple of

days away, we're officially heading into that short window of time where you can snag some really

great deals on some great garden products. And I'm here today to help you make the most of it.

In fact, I have found some of my favorite garden products on the best sales this time of year.

I know it's probably not the thing that is at the top of your mind when you're thinking of

Black Friday shopping, but this is the time of year to definitely be paying attention to what's

going on sale.

Now, this episode is not just about getting the best deal.

It's also about helping you think

ahead for next year's garden and to set yourself up for success before spring sneaks up on you.

Now, whether that means finally getting your raised beds or your irrigation set up, upgrading

your seed starting set up inside, or stocking up on fertilizers and

amendments. This is truly the time of year to look at doing this. You can save so much money in the

process. Plus, if you have a gardener in your life, many of these items make fantastic

gift ideas, especially the ones that are both beautiful and practical.

Let's look at what we're going to be covering today. First, we're going to talk about your systems,

your setup with beds and containers. I'll talk about my favorite beds, my metal raised beds I've

used for years, and also my favorite containers and

grow bags. We'll talk about seed starting, my must have trays, lights, and mixes that help

make indoor seed starting so much more smooth. And we'll talk about fertilizers and amendments.

I'll walk you through all the ones that have made a difference in my garden, especially this year since

I've been trying out some new types. And a couple of them have some really great bundle deals right now.
