Episode Description from the Publisher

Episode 69 – Questions & Answers – Growing, Learning and Sharing🌱 This week on The Beanstalk, we're turning the microphone over to the fellow Beans for our first big Questions & Answers episode! We're talking garlic scapes, favorite tomato varieties, why I grow an unreasonable number of cucumbers, my background with food and gardening, and the story behind why I started The Beanstalk in the first place. We'll also count down some of my greatest garden successes and most painful failures—including 250 pounds of tomatoes, a 150-plant cucumber jungle, a bean disaster, and the spearmint invasion that was ultimately defeated by a completely unrelated plumbing catastrophe. 😂 Instead of our usual recipe, we're talking about the importance of building strong communities and holding onto the good people who make our gardens—and our lives—better. Then we'll finish with gardening history, the rise of gardening podcasts and video, and a Garden Nerd Corner about how sharing gardening knowledge has evolved from conversations over the fence to conversations around the world. Never give up, never surrender, and keep growing together, fellow Beans. 🌱 Hosted on Acast.
