Ep. 08 - Gardening: Do You Know What You Need To Know? - 2 Gals & Your Garden

This episode covers various gardening topics such as seed-saving,
planting strategy, and animal protection.


Jamie goes over nearly everything you need to consider before
taking on a garden project & how to determine the value of
your garden space vs yield. Jamie is the gardener of the 2 Gals.
She's been doing it for a long time and she's very good at it. We
all hear about how we should be saving seeds. Jamie's advice is
this: "Learn to garden before learning to save seeds."


The Homestead Podcast co-hosts provide tips on how to simplify
life and take responsibility for health and well-being by
unleashing the homesteader within.


They share various homesteading activities, including making
sourdough crackers and feta cheese, discussing the importance of
organic flour and sensitivity to chemicals in wheat, and
considering the growing zone, climate, and soil type for
gardening.
