This episode of the podcast is all about working with what you've got and making a plan based on that. No garden is a blank slate, even if it looks completely empty to you. You're always dealing with soil, weather, and sometimes pest conditions. For those of you who do have some things planted already, rather than move them, let's work around them for now at least until you feel more comfortable with more ambitious projects in your garden. For the purpose of this episode, I'm going to use my garden so you can get a feel for how to think about your space.

The beauty of gardening can be making it up as you go along, getting it wrong, and learning as you go. Let me know how you get on.
