| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the Beginners Garden podcast. I'm Jill McShehehehe with Journey Withjil.net, |
| 0:06.1 | and my goal is to give beginning gardeners the tools they need to grow a rewarding, productive garden. Hey guys. I hope you are having a fabulous garden season this year. |
| 0:34.5 | In this episode, we're going to be talking about your fall garden. Now, if you're a |
| 0:39.6 | first year gardener, you may be thinking, what? I'm exhausted from my summer garden. And let me tell |
| 0:45.6 | you, I totally get it. I will never forget my very first garden season. Fall gardening was not |
| 0:51.9 | even on my radar. In fact, I remember at the end of the season, I had cleared |
| 0:55.9 | out all of my summer crops, which I don't do anymore. So take a look at a past episode about |
| 1:01.3 | why you shouldn't clean up your summer garden. That's completely beside the point here. But I had my |
| 1:06.5 | whole garden cleaned up, and I remember looking across my bare garden thinking, |
| 1:11.8 | ah, finally, I can rest. But it wasn't until the years after that that I realized, you know, |

| 1:43.1 | not as much of a problem as they are in the |
| 1:45.7 | height of the summer. But if you've never grown a fall garden, or if you've tried to grow a fall |
| 1:51.1 | garden and it just hasn't quite worked out well for you, it can be a little bit tricky to get |
| 1:56.2 | started and to know some of the basic things like what plants can you grow in a fall garden. |
| 2:02.3 | And do you plant from seed or do you plant transplants? And what plants can handle frosts and |
| 2:09.4 | freezes and when do I even start these things, right? There's so many different questions |
| 2:13.7 | that you'll probably have when it comes to the fall garden. In fact, when I asked you guys |
| 2:18.5 | in the Beginners Garden Shortcut Facebook group to tell me what questions you had on fall gardening, |
