Growing the Good Life

My name is Michelle, and I grow food in my yard for my family and stock my farmstand in zone 8A Western North Carolina. In this podcast, I share what I've learned from all my years of growing. I share growing tips and best practices for the varieties I grow so that you can get the most production out of your garden and have the satisfaction of growing your own food. I started as a home gardener just like you and I promise you, you can do this!
