This week on the podcast, we’re covering everything you should be doing in the garden this month — from what to plant, what to pull, and what to support, to how we’re handling pests, mulch math, and our melon experiments (yes… there are melon bralettes involved 😅).
Here’s a taste of what’s inside:
✔️ What to sow right now (okra, beans, melons & more)
✔️ Why mulching early = your future self’s BFF
✔️ Natural pest control strategies we’re actually testing
✔️ Support systems for dahlias, tomatoes & chilies
✔️ Our fertilizing routines (real talk, no guilt)
✔️ What’s blooming, what’s bolting, and what’s next
Whether you’re just catching your breath after spring or wondering if you missed your window — this one’s for you.
