About this listen

 In this episode of the Homegrown & Harvested podcast, host Aerin challenges the common assumption that autumn isn't the best time for gardening. Contrary to popular belief, Aerin points out that the moderate fall temperatures allow plants to recover from summer damage, conserve water, and prepare for winter. She highlights that the soil stays warm well into the fall, encouraging root growth even for plants newly introduced to the garden. In addition, Aerin brings up the reduced competition from weeds and pests, along with consistent rainfall benefiting soil health. The podcast concludes with Aerin exploring plant varieties suited for fall gardening and providing efficient maintenance tips, thereby reaffirming the advantages and productivity of gardening in the autumn season.
