This is episode 3 of the Preserving Today podcast. In this episode I talk about my garden plans, my successes and failures in previous gardens and my thoughts on preserving what we grow.
I am not an expert! I am really winging it. This is my 7th or 8th year gardening and I am learning from my previous experience and trying new things every year. Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
Thanks for watching.

Another great pod, Lanni. I've already started onions and sweet potato slips while I'm waiting for my zone 6b to warm up in southwest Ohio. Our hot, humid summers are great for nightshades and cucurbits, so I'll be growing several varieties of those. I added four raised beds to the garden this year to hopefully dissuade the rabbits from destroying my lettuce, beans and anything else they find tasty. I used seed savers exchange this year, but their website is crap so I wouldn't recommend them. Strictly medicinal seeds was a good experience, but they are mostly herbs. You can't go wrong with Baker Creek.
Hi Lanni!❤ I’ve tried brassicas during Spring & Summer here in North Carolina but they get “eat up” by the cabbage caterpillars, so I’m gonna try them this Autumn instead. I’ve heard other southern gardeners say there’s less pest pressure from them here once the weather cools down some. 🤷🏻♀️ We’ll see…
I’ve ordered lots of seeds from Strictly Medicinal because they have “open pollinated” organically grown seeds and plants. (It’s too costly for me, on the East coast, to order plants from him, but IF I lived closer!🙋🏻♀️)
And my experience searching on his website is different from the other commenter: he has plenty of seeds other than medicinal herbs: veggies, flowers, even trees! I feel like, if there’s a seed I want, he most likely has it! AND with great advice about how & when to plant it!❤
I enjoyed your podcast. And I was making meatballs (“porkballs”) while you were “telling me all about it”!😁💖
Great information. It’s wonderful to see how much your little guy loves being in the garden
