The Beginner's Garden with Jill McSheehy

The Beginner's Garden with Jill McSheehy

Welcome to the Beginner's Garden Podcast! This is the podcast with easy-to-understand resources, tips, and information to help beginning gardeners get the most out of their gardening adventure -- big or small. When I began gardening in 2013, I scoured books and Internet resources to find all the information I could. Although good information was abundant, I had trouble understanding all the gardening lingo and sifting through the information to figure out what would work for me. In this podcast, my aim is to provide helpful information while explaining the gardening lingo as we go. I want to equip YOU to have the best start ever this gardening season!

416 - Your last frost date has arrived! Now what?

Today?s my average last frost date?maybe it?s yours too. So, is it time to plant everything? Not so fast. In this episode, we?re diving into what your last frost date really means and why it?s more of a guidepost than a green light.

We?ll cover:
? What the ?average last frost date? actually means
? Why warm-weather crops might still need to wait
? How soil temps, night temps, and forecasts factor in
? What to do if a cold snap hits after you?ve planted
? Tips for protecting your plants and setting them up to thrive

Plus, I?ll share a few hard-learned lessons from my early gardening days?and how a soil thermometer, weather watching, and a little patience can go a long way.

? Don?t forget: The Productive Gardener?s Blueprint is now available to watch on demand! I re-recorded it with updates for April planting?perfect for this exact moment in the season. Watch it at journeywithjill.net/masterclass

And we?re opening up Dream to Garden one last time this spring?learn more at journeywithjill.net/dreamtogarden
