128. Summer Garden Potluck: A Little Bit of Everything
Pull up a chair and grab a plate—it's our Summer Garden Potluck!
Instead of digging into one big gardening topic, we're sharing a little bit of everything that's happening in our Colorado gardens. From bumper crops to garden flops, funny mistakes to mysterious plant behavior, this episode is packed with midsummer stories, practical tips, and plenty of laughs.
This season we ask:
- What's stealing the show in our gardens?
- Which experiments are actually working?
- What completely flopped?
- And why is gardening always just a little bit weird?
Along the way we chat about:
- Tomatoes, tomatoes...and more tomatoes
- The flowers putting on the best show this summer
- Succession planting and surprise harvests
- New gardening experiments we're trying
- Garden mysteries we're still trying to solve
- Japanese beetles, weeds and other uninvited guests
- Funny garden mistakes that only gardeners will understand
- Lessons we're taking into the rest of the season
Plus:
- New Pod Plays
- Mail Bag (Ring! Ring!)
- Bad potluck jokes
- Garden inspiration
- And maybe a little "moist."
So grab a cold drink, head outside, and join us for a relaxed summer conversation about everything that's blooming, growing, surviving—and occasionally confusing us—in our gardens.
Because every gardener has a story to bring to the table. :)
