Feeling burned out in the garden? You're not alone—and you're definitely not failing. In this episode, we talk about the real side of gardening in midsummer: when the weeds take over, the heat zaps your energy, and the pests push you to the brink.
We'll share honest stories about why burnout happens, how it shows up, and what we've learned over the years about managing overwhelm. From strategies to cut down on watering and weeding to giving yourself permission to pause and reset, here's how we keep going—or take a much-needed break. Gardening doesn't have to be perfect to be worth it.
