If you’ve ever wanted a garden but felt overwhelmed by where to start, this episode is for you. In today’s episode of Growing Gardeners, I’m breaking down the three seeds that make the biggest difference for beginner and busy gardeners — the ones that build confidence, momentum, and long-term success without overwhelm. You don’t need to start everything from seed. You just need to start the right things from seed. And listen, your garden doesn’t start in spring. It starts with one good decision — and sometimes, that decision is to just plant three seeds.   In This Episode, You’ll Learn: Why starting fewer seeds leads to better results The easiest seed to grow for quick confidence Why tomato variety choice matters more than anything How growing onions teaches you to think like a gardener   Resources Mentioned In This Episode: Success With Seeds — Join my step-by-step seed-starting class for busy women The Wild Child Tomato Report — Get my curated list of tomato varieties that thrive Need some onions??

In this FIRST episode of the brand new season of the Growing Gardeners podcast we are digging in to three things you DON'T need to be successful gardener.  And I am also throwing in three must haves as well!!!  This is a perfectly timed episode as we are gearing up to plant our cool season garden, and probably, making lots of trips to the nursery.  What I have learned in the last 6 years of coaching gardeners is that we love to overcomplicate gardening.  Just like sourdough, fermenting, and everything else, complicated seems to be the norm. This episode is going to help you get good footing for your season so that you can grow a garden you love!!   When you start a new garden season, whether it is your first season or fifty first, there is an urge to buy more, plant more, grow more.  But what if some things that we are spending lots of time and money on aren't even necessary and may be sabatoging our season.  What??? Yep!!  I have alot of opinions on this, so let's dig in!!  And if you feel like you could benefit from more simplified instruction, more encouragement, more accountability, the Wild Child Garden Club doors are open to new members right now!!!  Join us HERE!!   In This Episode You’ll Learn:    Why tillers and tractors and chemical fertilizers are unnecessary for the backyard gardener and that they may actually be causing you more harm than good.   How it always comes back to your soil. No matter what, the soil, and how good or not it is, is always going to be the foundation for everything else we experience in a season.   How timing affects so much more than we understand in the garden.  This is so overlooked.  In this episode we are going to dig into timing and we will learn why this tiny little act of scheduling can define your season!    Resources From This Episode: ➡ Get my FREE planting timeline HERE to know when to plant this season! ➡ Join us in the Garden Club HERE ➡ Still need a little convincing?  Join me in Grow, Gather, Give to start your season with a brand new mindset that increases your harvests and your love for your garden.     ✨ If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend! ✨   Connect With Me Facebook: @wildchildkitchengardens Instagram: @wildchildkitchengardens Get My Weekly Newsletter: www.releaseyourinnerwildchild.com/subscribe Learn More About Growing With Me: www.releaseyourinnerwildchild.com

  On this episode of the Growing Gardeners podcast, you will go to garden church. With an on fire message straight from the heart, Kellye reminds us all of why we want to garden in the first place. As we did in to this mindset shift of seeing our garden with the end in mind we automatically set ourselves up to grow more of what matters most. And we are able to harvest more of what matters most. And we are able to give more of what matters most. If your garden needs a re-vamp.  If you feel less than thrilled with the outcome of this season. If you need new life breathed into your garden space... This episode is for you!!!  And if you put this mindset shift you learn here today into practice, your garden, and you as a gardener, will never be the same!   In This Episode You’ll Learn:   Why it is so important to begin your garden season with the end in mind. How seeing our future garden selves and shifting our mindset gives us a more fulfilling season. What we inadvertently experience when we don't start the season with a right mindset. Why the garden circus is the worst place to be and the easiest place to get to.  And how to make sure that isn't where you end up.   Resources From This Episode: ➡ Join us in the Garden Club HERE ➡ Still need a little convincing?  Join me in Grow, Gather, Give to start your season with a brand new mindset that increases your harvests and your love for your garden.     ✨ If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend! ✨   Connect With Me Facebook: @wildchildkitchengardens Instagram: @wildchildkitchengardens Get My Weekly Newsletter: www.releaseyourinnerwildchild.com/subscribe Learn More About Growing With Me: www.releaseyourinnerwildchild.com
