Row covers were supposed to be a simple solution — but instead, they became one of our most frustrating flops. In Part 1 of this two-part episode, we walk through all the ways things didn’t work: the money spent, the time lost, and the constant trial-and-error that tested our patience and our faith. We talk honestly about what it’s like to keep trying when nothing seems to pay off, and why perseverance on the farm often looks like repeating the same process while hoping for a different outcome. This episode isn’t about the win yet — it’s about the grind before it.
