Hello, hello, everyone. Welcome back to the Epic Gardening podcast. We have Meg

Cowden back on the show today. She is the founder of Seed to Fork. She's in zone 4a slash

b slash sometimes a 3b. I guess it all depends these days up in Minnesota. And we've been

talking about a fall garden. Meg does a lot of season extension, a lot of zone bending,

a lot of succession planting. She has a book coming out later, which we will maybe talk

a little bit about Meg, but we're talking today about direct seeding, which is something

that I will confess. I actually don't do a ton of, which is weird because in my climate

you could do a lot of it, but I'm managing, I guess I'm just managing the garden kind

of differently than the typical gardener because maybe I'm growing something, you know,

to educate on it, rather than to, you know, grow it because I absolutely love to eat

it, right? And so I do a lot of transplanting and starting seeds and just moving them

out into the garden. But you've got this idea of direct seeding the easy way for a fall

garden. So I'd love to hear about it. Yeah, and I am 100% with you, Kevin. I am kind

of a control freak and I do prefer to sow indoors and transplant stars because I feel

like they're stronger. I mean, I can't imagine putting broccoli seeds in my garden and all

the pest pressure that would happen to like the cattle eatins potentially. And, you know,

you definitely mitigate a lot of early pressure and can control a lot of factors when you

endorse so. But there are a ton of great crops that are super easy to direct seed. And

I can't imagine your indoor-fowing radishes, Kevin. I mean, come on.

Well, I'll be honest with you. I've done it, actually. But no, in general, I don't do that.

Okay. You've done it to be like, I've done that. I've done it to be, I've done, yeah,

I've direct zone or sorry, I've transplanted peas, beans, radish, turnip speeds and even carrots
