It’s a transitioning garden. As spring crops begin to tire and summer heat moves in, many gardeners feel overwhelmed wondering: What do I pull out? What do I plant next? Is my season over? Do I need to start over? But healthy gardens are not built in isolated seasons. They move in rhythms.   In This Episode You'll Learn:   How to transition your garden slowly instead of all at once The beauty of succession planting Why planting with the moon helps gardeners work with natural rhythms How to overlap seasons for a garden that produces 52 weeks a year What heat-loving crops to plant when spring vegetables begin slowing down Why summer gardening can actually be the easiest season for busy women Learning how to “move with the seasons” instead of fighting them    Follow This To Know What To Do Next   Quit While You're Ahead (what is no longer serving your garden) Protect What's Producing (these guys get all the attention) Plant With Purpose (strategically decide what you are planting, why, and where)   Listen to Episode 121 "Knowing What To Do Next In The Garden Here: 👉 https://www.releaseyourinnerwildchild.com/podcasts/growing-gardeners/episodes/2149204026     Resources Mentioned In This Episode: Come to my garden with me while I pick a succession of bush beans, test out my new pressure canner, and cook some on the stove for supper the old school way!!  If you have ever contemplated bush beans, you will love this quick glimpse into why I think you should definitely grow them!! 👉 Watch the full video here:    https://youtu.be/XCt3HHVVOBo… ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/growing-gardeners-5723240/episodes/ep-122-what-to-plant-when-the-spring-garden-slows/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/growing-gardeners-5723240/ep-122-what-to-plant-when-the-spring-garden-slows.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
