Today is all about growing and harvesting your own food year-round in the sunshine state. YES, you heard me right. You can grow veg and fruit even in the hottest most humid months of the year and despite what you may think - it doesn't have to be difficult. 

Do you have to be a good planner to start a garden? How can you avoid pests if you don't use pesticides? Are “companion” plants a thing? What plants are best near others?   These are some of the questions addressed by Jill Ragan of Whispering Willow Farm in this week's podcast episode. Jill is the author of “The Tiny but Mighty Farm,” and she has lots of ideas for how to get started gardening. She made plenty of mistakes that she openly shares so that we can learn from her and avoid duplicating the bad stuff. She offers ideas for both the beginner gardener and the one with more experience under their belt.   Since Jill is a “market gardener,” she knows how to scale up and what works for gardeners with a lot of lands and those with very little. She covers the importance of practical space usage, why string trellises work better than plastic cages, and more.   Visit Jill's website:  thewhisperingwillowfarm.com   Join the Weston A.

How would you like to grow your own food for dinner? Step outside your door or head to a special place on your counter and grab your spinach or microgreens, wash them and enjoy?  No matter where you live, my guest today tells us we can do this. I love the idea of pulling it out of the ground and eating it full of nutrients instead of knowing it's been flown or trucked in, sat in the store and then in my refrigerator… all the while losing nutrients.  And of course, that's if the nutrient density of the soil it was grown in was good to begin with. We've got reasons to want better nutrition than we can buy at the grocery store.  My Guest:   Katie Oglesby is an edible Garden Designer and holistic health coach on a mission to help her clients to stop being passive participants in their health journeys and become courageous, informed advocates for their wellbeing. As a Garden Coach and Real Food Advocate, she fuses the healing power of gardening with the healing power of food-as-medicine in her garden designs and holistic approach to a garden-to-table lifestyle. Questions We Answer in This Episode: What propelled  you into leading a gardening? What happens to nutrient density from harvest to the refrigerator or the time we cook it? How easy is it to grow your own salad or herb garden? Do you have tips about growing in seasons? How can you grow in the off-season or small spaces? Why are you a fan of utilizing herbs more and avoiding the spice aisle? Any other benefits of gardening beyond the food density?
