What we're talking about this week
I start off this week's episode by emphasizing the importance of planning your garden, especially when space is limited, and I share insights into how I choose high-yield plants. 
 
I also highlight key questions you can ask seed companies if you want to ensure you're using quality seeds. 
 
I also encourage you to consider growing something new this year (and explain why).
 
We wrap up this episode with my personal experiences and recommendations for unique plants you may want to consider growing (and why), including asparagus, purple broccoli, and popcorn. (I link all 3 below.)
 
Some takeaways
  • It's time to start planning your garden.
  • Consider the yield of plants when space is limited.
  • Ask seed companies about their germination rates.
  • Grow vertically to maximize space in your garden.
  • Try something new in your garden every year.
  • Asparagus is a great early-producing crop. I grow this asparagus.
  • Purple broccoli is easy to grow from seed. I grow this one.
  • Popcorn can be a fun and rewarding crop to grow. I love this one.
  • Quality seeds can significantly impact your gardening success.
