Hi, everybody. I'm Joe Lampel, the Joe Behind Joe Gardner, and welcome to the Joe Gardner show.

Last week's episode was an encore on getting ready for seeds starting, and I recorded that a year ago.

But the information was very relevant then as it was last week when it aired again. I was out of the country,

and I wanted to share that with you because, as you know, we're getting ready for that time of year where we're

sewing our seeds. And there's a lot of good meat in there that you could use and apply it to your

process coming up. No matter where you are, whether you're a brand new seed starter or you've been at

it a while, I think I had some things in there that probably includes everybody that was watching

or listening. Now, since then, I've had a chance to go

back and listen to that again. And having a full week back in the country, I also was heavily

involved in my seed starting and thought of a few things that I could have added to that or wanted

to add to that, which is what this episode is about. So really, this is going to piggyback on that episode.

So if you haven't heard or watched episode number 453, go ahead and do that at some point,

preferably before this one, but either way, this one piggybacks on that.

So both of them complement each other.

So today I'm going to share with you a few things that I thought of over the week that I wanted to add on.

So that's the plan.

And so let's get into that.

And as we do, thanks to our sponsors for today's episode, Soil Cube, and the Online Gardening Academy.

You probably know by now, having access to high-quality compost is my not-so-secret weapon

for the success of everything I grow in my garden. And that's why I'm so proud to be partnering

with Soil Cubed. If you live in their delivery zones within Georgia, North Carolina, South

Carolina, Tennessee, most of Alabama, and for some of my Texas listeners, Soil Cubed is now in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, so this message is for you.
