  • Love your show !

    Thank you so much for all of the great information ! I literally had a roomful of thriving plants many years ago (when we only had dogs;). Then my husband got a cat that would eat all of my plants, so the plants had to go. So I am just now getting back to it and your tips really do help- a lot ! Thanks again ! P.S. I love the beautiful song in the into !

  • Love the leaves 🍁 episode!

    You can also layer leaves on cardboard sheets and start a No dig garden the following spring. The leaves will have broken down and you can put compost over them and start a garden. Leaves save my wrists and back from having to till or dig. This was the best interview! Thanks.🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁💕🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🌱
