  • Don't Start your Tomatoes too Soon!
    I am chomping at the bit to get some seeds planted, but I have to keep reminding myself to slow down and be patient. In the past I have started tomatoes too early and then run into issues with plugs becoming rootbound or I'll have to do extra work with transplanting into larger pots. I also talk about my plans to experiment with planting tomato seeds directly in 4 inch CowPots and testing that growth against the plants grown in the plug trays. I also talk about the joy of growing a garden versus the pressure of growing for a CSA - though this year I feel much more confident because I have created an elaborate strategy & plan that will ensure optimization of processes and a solid harvest all year round.

  • Creative Process, Fitness Goals, & "Is Life a Fight or a Game?" with Tyler Gutman
    Tyler and I have been lifelong friends and we are always texting each other about our creative ideas or life philosophy, and always end up in debate. That sparked us to step up to the podcast mic and dive into multiple topics including: thoughts on New year's resolutions, fitness & health goals, Creativity & Creative Process with art & music, and finally our big debate on whether life is a fight or life is a game. How do you play it?

  • Onions & Experimentation
    In today's episode we're back to planning the garden and I talk about my goals for complete organization in the garden so that I can collect data and experiment properly with new fertilizers 🧪🔬👨‍🔬🧬🌱 This has always been my aim but once you get out in the garden, wilderness takes over and planning seems pointless - but we're gonna stick to it this year! Today's the first experiment and the first seeds I will be sowing this season - onions 🌱🌱🌱 My experiment involves growing seeds in a 288 cell tray and a 72 cell tray to see the differences in growth, development, and germination rate. Stay tuned for updates along the way as we continue with the How to Start a Garden from Seed Series - and let me know what gardening questions I can answer for you! 👨‍🌾

  • Wedding Planning or Garden Planning?
    Today's episode was meant to be about "planning" in general but once I got talking, I got sucked down the rabbit hole of wedding planning that is currently engulfing me and Kyla's lives 😂 In today's episode I talk about our search for a venue and some of the winners we have visited so far. Outside of the technical stuff, I also talk about what a wedding is really about - marrying the person you love. We want to make our day as special as possible, but not at the risk of taking on loans and paying a ridiculous amount for one day. In this episode I dive into the fun of wedding planning & what I think getting married should be all about 💒

  • Unboxing my Secret Seed Order
    Last week Kyla brought me home an envelope full of top secret seeds for this year's garden. In today's episode I open them and give my 2 cents on each seed packet. I wasn't sure how this type of episode would work out but it was kind of exciting not knowing what I was going to pull out of the packet and what we will be growing in the garden this year. Of course we've got a few varieties of tomatoes, peppers, but there's also some unique Insta-worthy plants that are gonna be growing in the Garden of Gains. There's a ton of great seeds at Gurney's and I can't wait to get planting!

  • Starting a Garden: Seeds, Soil, and Supplies

    In today's episode, we finally start getting into the nitty gritty of Starting a Garden from Seed. We will be beginning with the topics of Seeds, Soil, and Supplies - and that's exactly what I dive into in this episode!

    First I talk about the importance of figuring out your Growing Zone. From there you can work backwards to figure out when you should be planting your seeds. If you're in Zone 6 like me, you probably won't be starting seeds for a few more weeks, so now's the perfect time to round up your seeds & supplies so you're not scrambling later on.

    Secondly, you need to get your seeds! There are 3 main companies that I have gone through in the past: Gurney's, Burpee, and Johnny's Seeds. All of these are highly reputable companies - it just comes down to preference. And it's important to note that there are a BUNCH of great suppliers out there!

    Lastly after discussing seed selection, I dive into the supplies that you will need. Primarily this will include seed trays, plug trays, inserts, and I talk about my favorite hydroponic seed starting kit and briefly touch on Soil & Soilless Media Mixes - that will be the next blog in this series and I will be diving into Soil health, Soilless mixes, Soil Amendments, and more!

    Also, if you're curious where I'm getting my supplies & seeds, keep your eyes peeled for a blog that details all of that information and includes links for easy access to what we're using in the Garden of Gains 🌱💪
