Welcome to the Beginner's Garden Podcast! This is the podcast with easy-to-understand resources, tips, and information to help beginning gardeners get the most out of their gardening adventure -- big or small. When I began gardening in 2013, I scoured books and Internet resources to find all the information I could. Although good information was abundant, I had trouble understanding all the gardening lingo and sifting through the information to figure out what would work for me. In this podcast, my aim is to provide helpful information while explaining the gardening lingo as we go. I want to equip YOU to have the best start ever this gardening season!

If you're interested in growing your own food, you're in the right place! I'm Jill and I garden in Arkansas, zone 7b. As a beginning gardener in 2013, I found it difficult to find the most basic information for beginning gardeners. Now with ten years of knowledge and experience from my 2500+ square foot garden (consisting of raised beds, ground beds, containers, and a greenhouse), I hope to help beginners find success in their own food gardens. Although I now grow most of the vegetables and herbs our family eats throughout the year, I am still learning, failing, and testing, and I share my ongoing garden journey here as well.
Here's the recent few episodes on The Beginner's Garden with Jill McSheehy.

Plus, I’ll share a few hard-learned lessons from my early gardening days—and how a soil thermometer, weather watching, and a little patience can go a long way.
