S3 E11: How to Recover After a Major Garden Failure with Cris Daining

<p>No matter how long you&apos;ve been gardening, it&apos;s almost guaranteed that you&apos;ve faced some type of epic failure with your garden.  While it&apos;s easy to get down on yourself when you have a bad gardening season, I&apos;m here to give you some encouragement to continue pushing forward.  In today&apos;s episode, I&apos;m joined by my right-hand woman Cris Daining.  Cris and I have been working together for years, and she&apos;s the first person I always turn to with my garden questions.   Together we discuss why it&apos;s important to not turn a garden failure into a personal problem, why great gardening takes time, how a garden journal helps you grow (literally and figuratively), and so much more.  Cris and I are here to reassure you that it&apos;s OK to cry over a lost garden, but it&apos;s not OK to accept failure.  Listen to today&apos;s episode to learn how to turn that tragedy into triumph!</p><p>Concerned about preserving your garden bounty with the on-going canning lid shortage this year?
