Episode 18 - Plant This Now

from Very Good Gardening · host Christen McCoy

What should you be planting right now and what should you wait on?In this video, I break down exactly what to plant right now in Maryland, Zone 7b, and across the United States, based on timing, soil temperature, and what actually works in a real garden. I also cover the crops that might be tempting to plant too early and why waiting can make a huge difference in your success.If you have ever rushed into planting and ended up with poor germination, stunted growth, or wasted seeds, this will help you avoid those mistakes. I walk through cool season crops you should already have in the ground, what still has time to go in, and which warm season plants need a little more patience.The goal is simple. Plant at the right time, get better results, and waste less effort.If you want more help, I have beginner friendly gear and resources linked in my Fourthwall shop, and I will be adding digital gardening guides soon to make planning your garden even easier.

Tao Te Ching by Laozi (Author), Stephen Mitchell (Full Audiobook) Laozi Lao-tzu's Tao Te Ching, or Book of the Way, is the classic manual on the art of living, and one of the wonders of the world. In eighty-one brief chapters, the Tao Te Ching looks at the basic predicament of being alive and gives advice that imparts balance and perspective, a serene and generous spirit. This book is about wisdom in action. It teaches how to work for the good with the effortless skill that comes from being in accord with the Tao (the basic principle of the universe) and applies equally to good government and sexual love; to child rearing, business, and ecology.Stephen Mitchell's bestselling version has been widely acclaimed as a gift to contemporary culture.

K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011.Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia ) Think Positive: Daily Affirmations Dachia Arritola The DogMom You've heard of affirmations, but have you used them successfully?
