This year is really the first year  I moved first time since 8 years since I had a garden I restarted with the help of my family and neighbors tomatos and pumpkin for the moment they are nice I have pictures that I succeeded at something I am very proud of my pumpkin waiting to see the fruits of it, I will make a pumpkin soup and share it with my neighbors we help her and she made this  Is there something you would do different next year or want to try/new? I would do a lot of things  I didn’t protect my crops very nicely cucumber all the seeds first moment they started to grow from the birds with my cucumber, with my carrot tomatoes good for the birds not so nice for me next year Yes, exactly this is where my neighbors were very helpful put a lot of empty bottles on a stick, when the wind blow plastic ones they can not be very heavy so the wind can be very heavy  Tell me about something that didn’t work so well this season. Didn’t plant a lot of things… first year wanted to see what I remember to start something. to really show my children this is a farm part  struggle fun part  you go you put the seeds in the soil you wait and water at this part I succeed  in the end we didn’t have  teaching them perseverance when they have vegetables from market they will appreciate it how much work it takes they are appreciate  Which activity is your least favorite activity to do in the garden. No, for a moment time for me to relax really think about other things to actually do, summarize everything I was doing before garden is like a yoga,  don’t  now days I want to have  choose something else adventure  What is your favorite activity to do in the garden. it’s collecting the fruits of my work if something works and grows nicely go to the garden and eat tomatoes pumpkin you need things you can just go to eat harvesting…. What is the best gardening advice you have ever received? if it didn’t grow the first time try again keep trying you making notes exactly to purpose what made you go to kickstarter it was my husband no book for me really you have a list of bulletproof plans even if you don’t have time just water them they will grow this is my dream book it will be easy a lot of info was missing I wasn’t able to  a lot of blogs put the seed into the soil and it grow after all I spent several hours this is why I say I would like to have a book that will have all this info if it didn’t work it was probably this you can change that beginner you start with this kind of plants you will succeed this is my idea Write the book you want to read! A favorite tool that you like to use? If you had to move and could only take one tool with you what would it be? a shovel… to remove all the plants  A favorite recipe you like to cook from the garden? pumpkin soup start plenty of recipes one from my mom and she got it from her mom made of pumpkin boiled with milk milk soup  with pumpkin mashed like potatoes mix  properly really love it prepared it twice difficult to get the proper pumpkin in the US for halloween decorations not the same in France difficult to find the proper pumpkin prepare add sugar either eat with pasta or by itself really easy nothing inside except the pumpkin  hope my pumpkin only have the very nice flowers A favorite internet resource? for the moment I really look at my neighbors I have never found the blog or the internet book… that would have the info for the moment never find your podcast before. find it very interesting  a lady from France also creating her own garden another podcast about her work all the difference  something I also need to have a part of my neighbors not just have a few sentences prepare in the way I would like to read for others only for me that didn’t work… the thing with them, they are not busy people mostly they are retired because of that they tested several things they had the time they are very good at things they have tested right away the tomatoes didn’t grow because you didn’t fertilize it one kind of fertilizer that you should use and your tomatoes will grow bottles and the birds will go away when should be the watering time morning afternoon evening depending on the plant that I have for me  its fascinating they say A favorite reading material-book, mag, blog/website etc you can recommend? I have one. I would say  It is written in my native language plants and herbs in your garden basically 100 should work in your garden. a lot of information what to do with them when they grow… cookbook more like if they start to grow inside there was nothing like  I am living in France and my native language is Poland coming from Poland easy to detect that  Final question-  If there was one change you would like to see to create a greener world what would it be? I think to explain to people  everyone will have something green any plant it’s easy show them  ABCD you will have a nice greenish part in the balcony Whenever I ask them opinion about plants they say, no, it’s a lot of work it’s a lot of time and I don’t have time.  The only thing is to change the opinion of people to say it’s easy like that everyone will have something this will make a greener world especially your private neighborhood and environment.   Kickstarter is to create a book. Prepare the bulletproof list of plants That are really bulletproof for anyone at any level. Especially for people like me at the beginner level find a plant that will really grow you don’t have time everyone is working a lot of days crazy hours so it’s very difficult to follow and think about watering plants The idea was to have  plants that will grow even if you don’t have a lot of time, you will still have something green in your house! You will be great the idea behind it is  like to see if having a book is there a positive impact will have a positive review if people give me even one $dollar. It’s not just my crazy idea if it is someone else that would like to have that kind of information. You can donate from as little as one to how much as you like just to say you like the idea.  If you donate $5 you will receive the book a hard copy. If you put like $50 you would be like a co-author with a name on the cover to say I helped create this book. Do you have an inspiration tip or quote to help motivate our listeners to reach into that dirt and start their own garden? Just start and then the fun will come! How do we connect with you?  Kickstarter campaign for Dream Garden For Busy People I would try to name it… like book… so it will be easy like the book.  Instagram also nice pictures…   The Organic Gardener Podcast is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com If you like what you heard on the Organic Gardener Podcast we’d love it if you’d give us review and hopefully a 5 star rating on iTunes so other gardeners can find us and listen to.
