    Garden Mistakes and Lessons Learned Over Time
    2026/07/07

    Every gardener has decisions they would make again…and a few they probably wouldn't.

    In this episode, Erin Hoover reflects on the gardening choices that paid off, the ones that created more work than expected, and the unexpected surprises that have shaped her garden over the years. From self-seeding herbs that got out of control to volunteer flowers worth keeping, she shares practical lessons learned through trial, error, and observation.

    Along the way, Erin discusses why investing in quality seed potatoes and garlic has been worthwhile, how redesigning her vegetable garden improved watering efficiency, and why a simple moisture meter completely changed the way she waters her garden.

    If you're just starting out or even if you are a seasoned gardener, this is a reminder that every season teaches us something new.
