440 - Let go or push through? (an unplanned, personal conversation) - The Beginner's Garden with Jill McSheehy

This past week has been heavy — my dad's heart surgery and walking with friends through hard times. Normally my garden is my refuge, but lately it's been more discouraging than refreshing. From cutworms in the carrots to nematodes on summer crops, the struggles have piled up.

In this episode, I'm sharing honestly about choosing whether to push through or let go, and why I'm focusing on easier, more rewarding crops like lettuce and greens. My hope is that my story encourages you if you're facing setbacks of your own.

Next week, I'll be back with a garlic growing timeline. Until then, grab my free Garlic Cheat Sheet and get ready for my Garlic Mini Course.
