Lovely podcast. I hope you come back to making it.
I have learned so much from you! Thank you!
This show has been so delightful to learn from! Thank you for sharing your experiences so honestly and vividly; I am excited to see and hear what’s next!!
I am a gardener in Manitoba and It is so nice to find a podcast about growing in northern Canada. I love the content so far and I love the folklore and history info feathered throughout. It’s been a treat to listen to and is just the kind of thing I was craving in a garden podcast. It’s also very nice that the episodes aren’t too long as I have twin toddlers and it’s impossible for me to get through an hour long podcast uninterrupted.
Thank you :)
Love the show, not alot of cold climate garden shows.
Glad to have a podcast for our northern climate. I order Canadian seeds so I know they will thrive in Wisconsin. These tips will really help in our short growing season.
