  • Gardening Tips for Seniors: How to Adapt Your Garden as You Age Gracefully

    Gardening Tips for Seniors: How to Adapt Your Garden as You Age Gracefully
    2026/04/28
    I’ve always wanted to make gardening a lifelong hobby because I plan to have dirt under my nails well into my 80s or 90s, but I never really thought through HOW to make that happen. Because as much as we love our plants, gardening as you age is not about doing the same thing forever. I see it with my mom who’s an incredible gardener. She has that true plant parent energy, but even she has to change how she gardens. So what if the secret to longevity is just learning how to garden differently? To help me with that topic is Rhonda Fleming Hayes. She’s the author of Garden for Life and has been gardening across more climates, zones, and life changes than most of us can imagine. And in this episode, she teaches us gardening tips for seniors and how to adapt your garden as you age so gardening stays joyful! In this episode, we learn: [02:56] Meet Rhonda Fleming Hayes, author of Garden for Life![03:25] What do we call “senior gardeners” without promoting ageism?[04:21] Why 55 is the turning point for when/how much you garden![05:56] How has Rhonda's gardening experience been?[08:09] How Rhonda’s relationship with her garden has changed as she’s gotten older[09:42] What are the mistakes senior gardeners make?[12:04] Gardening as something that should change with you![13:03] Why continuing to garden matters as you age[15:09] Concrete Botany by Joey Santore[16:14] My summer with Melody + how companionable garden buddies help each other![18:49] How to evaluate your garden for safety/accessibility?[21:00] Tools that make gardening sustainable over time[23:06] How to start gardening over again when moving to a new space[25:59] Why you need to create "way stations" to sit and enjoy your garden[27:52] How to overcome the “ego blow” of hiring professional garden help[31:01] What does Rhonda's own Minnesota garden look like?[33:40] What getting help actually looks like in practice[34:39] Inspiring real-life gardener stories from her book, Garden for Life[36:27] Where to find Rhonda and her book online Mentioned in our conversation: Rhonda’s books: Garden for Life: Strategies for Easier, Greener, More Joyful Gardening as We AgePollinator Friendly Gardening: Gardening for Bees, Butterflies, and Other Pollinators For Rhonda's complete senior gardening tips check out the full show notes and blog here!

    Mushroom Cultivation 101: The Mushroom Miniseries: Best of Growing Joy Replay
    2026/04/23
    Did you know mushrooms aren’t actually plants, but a completely different kingdom that plays a huge role in soil health, plant health, and the success of your indoor and outdoor garden? This is the third episode in our Mushroom Mini Series, and this week we’re having a high-level conversation all about what mushrooms are, how fungi and mycelium work, and why they matter so much for plant parents and anyone interested in holistic plant care. Louis from North Spore joins me and my husband Billy for a really fun conversation about the underground “wood wide web,” how mushrooms support your garden ecosystem, and why understanding fungi can completely change the way you think about gardening, mushrooms in soil, and growing mushrooms at home. I hope this conversation helps you better understand the hidden life in your soil and inspires you to look at mushrooms, plant care, and your garden in a whole new way. In this episode, we learn: [05:42] What is it like being a mushroom farmer?[06:40] Multiple harvests from the grow kits through proper moisture management[08:51] Debunking magic mushroom misconceptions[2:44] Billy and Maria’s positive experiences with Lion's mane mushroom[14:34] How do you grow mushrooms indoors?[14:44] #1 Spray & Grow Kits (The perfect beginner species!)[18:02] #2 Fruiting Blocks[19:17] Where can you get premium quality growlights?[21:05] Where can you find delightful wind chimes that make for a perfect gift choice?[22:23] #3 Martha Tents (aka North Spore’s Boom Room)[25:36] How do you avoid mold with a Martha tent?[28:18] What's the ideal humidity level on the humidistat for the fruiting blocks?[30:39] What comprises a fruiting block and what goes into making it?[32:17] How do you distinguish spawns versus spores?[37:13] How do you pasteurize something?[37:58] What would be three great beginner mushrooms to start in a grow tent?[40:09] Economics of mushroom cultivation[42:26] Can a Martha tent enable a wider range of mushroom growth compared to a mono tub?[43:21] #3 Mono tub[50:22] What are the two substrates of Nameko mushrooms?[54:23] Who is North Spore?

  • Spring Bulb and Summer Bulb Planting Tutorial with Jenny Rose Carey

    Spring Bulb and Summer Bulb Planting Tutorial with Jenny Rose Carey
    2026/04/21
    Did you know that your bulb garden doesn't have to be high-maintenance? One of my earliest memories is my mom planting what felt like endless tulip bulbs—500 of them, in fact. She was a young mom with three kids, no spare time, and definitely not a person who could fuss over plants every day, but somehow, she always had color! Bulbs showed up for her, and she did not have to slave over her garden to get them. That’s why I know it is possible to create a low‑maintenance garden with bulbs. So I invited Jenny Rose Carey on the show to walk us through it. She gardens on a 4.5‑acre property called Northview, filled with thousands of bulbs that bloom from late winter through fall. She’s a horticulturist, a biologist, a teacher at heart, and the author of The Essential Guide to Bulbs. She shares how bulbs actually work, which ones are worth planting, and how to plant them so they don’t rot or disappear after one season! Let's begin! In this episode, we learn: [04:04] Meet Jenny Rose Carey[07:05] What’s the history behind her 4-acre garden called Northview?[09:57] What a full season of bulbs actually looks like at Northview[11:30] What counts as a bulb? (Are dahlias bulbs?)[12:43] How the bulb cycle works[14:25] Designing a wedding garden with dahlias, raised beds, and containers full of flowers![15:44] Manukora Honey[17:30] How to understand the seasonal lifecycle & dormancy of bulbs (spring bulb vs summer bulb)[22:12] How bulbs can create a lower-maintenance garden[23:37] What are the best summer bulbs?[26:55] Summer bulbs Jenny loves most for flowers and cutting gardens![29:48] Bulb planting 101[33:20] How do you know which way is up when planting a bulb?[34:32] Why some bulbs seem to “fail” the first year[37:16] The drainage rule to avoid bulb rot[39:28] In-ground vs. containers for bulbs[41:42] How lasagna planting works for bulbs[44:39] The best places in your garden to plant bulbs[45:52] What are Jenny’s favorite fragrant bulbs for summer?[48:03] The biggest mistakes people make when planting bulbs[49:15] How to use store-bought bulbs for instant gratification[50:28] Where to find Jenny, her book The Essential Guide to Bulbs, and her garden at Northview!
