How many times have you said, "It's just been too hot," or "We haven't had enough rain"? Weather is an easy scapegoat when our gardens struggle — but is it really the whole story? In this episode, I'm sharing a personal parallel from my years in the car business to show how blaming outside factors (like the weather) can actually hold us back. We'll talk about: Why observation is your most powerful gardening tool How to recognize when the weather really is to blame — and when it isn't Other factors that might be affecting your crops (soil, sun, irrigation, pests) Practical strategies to work with the weather instead of against it This is more of a mindset conversation — equal parts tough love and encouragement — to help you stop letting the weather win and start focusing on what you can control. 👉 Join my email community for extra tips and behind-the-scenes updates I don't share anywhere else: journeywithjill.net/gardensignup My Products: 2025 Complete Garden Planner (plus several new editions!) https://shop.journeywithjill.net/  Vegetable Gardening for Beginners Book: https://amzn.to/3TZeJux Products I recommend: Recommended Brands & Products page:  https://journeywithjill.net/recommended-brands-and-products/  https://www.amazon.com/shop/thebeginnersgarden Connect with Jill:    Sign up for Friday Emails: https://journeywithjill.net/gardensignup YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/JourneywithjillNet/videos   The Beginner's Garden Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebeginnersgarden/ Link to Beginner's Garden Podcast past episodes: https://journeywithjill.net/the-beginners-garden-podcast/  (*links above contain affiliate links, which means if you click through and make a purchase, we will earn a commission at no extra cost to you.)      

September can leave gardeners feeling torn — the weather whispers fall, but the garden seems ready to shut down. Should you plant more, or just call it quits until spring? In today's episode, I'll show you why the answer is yes — you can still plant, and you'll be glad you did. We'll cover four categories of crops you can grow right now — greens, roots, brassicas, and herbs — plus the key differences between fall and spring planting that will make all the difference in your success. Here's what you'll learn: The fast-growing greens you can direct sow today for quick harvests. Root crops that thrive in cooling soil (and how to get them to germinate). Why fall brassicas do best from transplants. Cool-season herbs that love September planting. One piece of spring garden advice that doesn't work in fall. You'll also hear my tips for moisture management, full sun placement, and how to think in terms of "baby harvests" instead of waiting for everything to fully mature. 📌 Resources mentioned in this episode: Free Garlic Planting Cheat Sheet: journeywithjill.net/garlic Pre-order organic seed garlic from Wood Prairie Family Farm and use code JILL5 for 5% off: woodprairie.com Organic REV: Rebuild soil health for your fall crops and save with code JILL10: organicrev.com By the end, you'll know exactly what to plant now to keep your garden producing fresh food well into fall.   Show Notes: Thank you to our sponsors: Organic REV  Organic REV Organic REV is an organic growth stimulant that can increase nitrogen efficiency by up to 25%, replaces depleted soil carbon and bacterial biomass, and absorbs nutrients to make them more readily available to plants via their root systems.

Parkinson's disease is the fastest-growing neurological disorder in the world—and according to neurologist and author Dr. Ray Dorsey, our environment may be playing a much larger role than we think. In this conversation, Dr. Dorsey shares key insights from his book The Parkinson's Plan, including how certain pesticides and chemicals—some of which are still used in U.S. agriculture today—are correlated with higher Parkinson's risk. As home gardeners, we may be making choices to avoid chemicals, but this episode highlights what we still need to be aware of. In this episode, we cover: What Parkinson's does to the body and why it's growing so fast The link between common agricultural chemicals and neurological risk What pyrethrins, rotenone, paraquat, and chlorpyrifos are—and where they may show up Why weed killers and even wooden fences may pose a concern How to navigate produce choices when organic isn't always accessible Why well water and contaminated soil may be hidden risks What to know about dry cleaning solvents like TCE and PCE Dr. Dorsey's top tips for reducing your risk (including what to prioritize) Why coffee lovers can celebrate their morning habit Whether you grow your own food or buy it at the grocery store, this conversation offers an eye-opening look at how to reduce your exposure and make more informed choices. 📘 Learn more about Dr. Dorsey and his book The Parkinson's Plan: https://parkinsonsplan.org  Thank you to our sponsor, Organic REV Give your fall garden the strong start it needs with Organic REV!

"I rarely use fertilizer." If you've listened to this podcast or joined a coaching call, you've probably heard me say that. And for years, it's been true.

In this episode, we'll explore how my mindset has shifted, plus: The difference between organic and synthetic fertilizers How to fertilize based on the type of crop Why your method matters more if you're growing in containers, raised beds, or in-ground How to apply fertilizer correctly so you don't waste time or money By the end, I hope you'll feel more confident in deciding whether — and how — to fertilize your own garden this season. 🌿Want to keep your plants thriving through the heat, stop pests naturally, and handle issues as they come up?

Organic REV The first thing to understand about REV is that it is not an ordinary humic acid product that is chemically-extracted from leonardite, lignite, or other coals.   Rather, it is a 100% naturally-occurring carbon, humic acid & fulvic acid source - along with exceptionally high levels of naturally-occurring microbial biomass  that can increase nitrogen efficiency by up to 25%.  REV replaces depleted soil carbon & bacterial biomass - and absorbs nutrients to make them more readily  available to plants via their root systems.
