On this episode, we are looking at how a cool season garden is different from the typical warm season gardens we are all accustomed to growing. We plant it differently, we grow it differently, and while the cool season garden is my very favorite for so many reasons, the number one has to be that it grows itself. This is by far, hands down, the best garden to grow when you are unsteady, don't trust your green thumb, and haven't gained confidence in your gardening abilities yet.  The cool season garden will lead the way, and you will love every minute!!
