FPGH 232: Top 10 Gardening Tips
Bruce and I each break down our top 10 tips and tricks for growing a successful vegetable garden — no peeking, no comparing notes beforehand. Just two opinionated gardeners with a lot to say about what actually works. Who has a no-marigold policy on their list? Why heirlooms-only may lead to disappointment, and much more. Spoiler: we don't always agree (aka Bruce is wrong). There's plenty of lively back-and-forth, a few "I can't believe you said that" moments, and yes — we each snuck in a bonus tip at the end because ten just wasn't enough.
