702: Starting Your Fall Garden

The Urban Farm Podcast with Greg Peterson

A chat with Christy Wilhelmi.

Now is the perfect time to get a 'kick in the pants' on starting back into our fall gardening. Christy Wilhelmi, frequent Urban Farm Podcast guest and author of Garden Variety, joins us for this month's Garden Chat to help dig into different aspects about one of the best times to garden. She details her garden planning process and tells us what she likes to plant and how she decides when to plant it. Christy also has plenty of tips for taking full advantage of this prime growing season no matter where you live.

On the last Tuesday every month we host The Urban Farm Garden Chats where Greg Peterson has a relaxed conversation in a Zoom room with a special guest to cover useful gardening topics, and they answer questions from the live listening audience.
