Fun in the Forest at Studio B

Although the holiday weekend was shortened by cold rainy weather, we both made advances in our gardens. Beth finished the golf garden and screen room, so this week's recording was done in the forest retreat. Laura planted lots of flower seeds and battled insects, as well as gaining ground at the community garden. We also talk a bit about our very favorite garden tools and the travails of water transportation. Click the link to go to the podcast (stream or download), and scroll down for pictures. Additional pictures from Laura in this separate post.

Planning Pays Off!

Welcome to episode 4 of Garden Grlz! This week we recorded at Studio L, where Laura's planning has paid off, turning her previously rather intimidating large garden into a peaceful zen retreat with the additional promise of a bountiful harvest. Meanwhile, Beth has moved further from thinking about gardening into actual effort, and is near completion of the Golf Garden, as well as making advances on reclaiming the driveway gardens.

Spring is Here - Now What?

Join us for episode three of Garden Grlz, in which we talk about the rapid switch from cold weather to hot, and the massive progress we've made in our gardens. Well, the massive progress Laura has made, and the many new distractions for Beth. But she's done some stuff, too.
