Cultivate your bedrock of understanding!

I've enjoyed gardening for about half of my life. Growing up in the Midwest my mother always had impressive vegetable gardens often fertilized by scraps of fish we'd catch at the local reservoir. (This was obviously in the 80s) I'll never forget eating sweet green onions from my Mom's garden and falling in love with all things food.

Having half the table covered in vegetables, and often Miracle Whip (and salt and pepper) was how we grew up eating.

30+ years later I am a working Chef, Dad, kite flyer and hobbyist gardener. I want to give my own kids the same variety of home grown produce. Thus, I garden, or at least attempt to.

The constant in all of my passions is that I never stop discovering amazing new things about what I'm most interested in. To endeavor to cultivate your own understandings about gardening, soil, and the life of your plants is what this Podcast is really all about.

The research and production value of this show is without equal. Guests are always informative, comfortable and enlightening. I've listened to more episodes of this podcast in my greenhouse than any other podcast; I will say my Moby station on Pandora is a close second, but Joe and his team do an incredibly good job at making this available. :) This show is a huge resource to everyone who might want to grow their own food or simply understand how it all works.

+1 for having your show available everywhere and across many platforms. I have learned volumes of information about all things gardening from Joe and his guests. Oftentimes a topic discussed leads me to even more independent discovery!


If you have a garden or even one plant you will most likely enjoy adding this podcast to your favorites. The YouTube channel is also a very informative companion resource.

Thanks again!
