Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.05,0:02:02.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,questions, and I might take some questions
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.27,0:02:04.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,throughout as well, but mostly I will take
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.62,0:02:07.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the questions towards the end. So I am
Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.58,0:02:09.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,going to go ahead and get started. First,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.68,0:02:12.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,one of my number one suggestions to
Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.82,0:02:16.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,beginner gardeners is "start small".
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.09,0:02:18.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, some of you

Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.07,0:02:26.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to want to be done with the grocery
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.85,0:02:28.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,stores, you want to grow all of your own
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.81,0:02:31.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,food, that is great! And if you feel
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.01,0:02:34.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,confident that you can do that, go for it!
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.02,0:02:37.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But, if you are worried, if you feel like

Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.24,0:02:44.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,dies, and you just feel overwhelmed,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.71,0:02:47.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,maybe lost, one of my number
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.29,0:02:52.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,one tips is to start small. It takes time
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.35,0:02:55.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to learn, and in some ways gardening is
Dialogue: 0,0:02:55.61,0:02:57.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,easy, but in some ways it is also very
Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.87,0:03:00.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,challenging, especially compared to just
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.50,0:03:02.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,going to the grocery store and buying all
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.69,0:03:05.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of your food. So what I really recommend
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.18,0:03:08.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is starting small. Don't feel like you
Dialogue: 0,0:03:08.49,0:03:12.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are not being successful if you just have
Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.86,0:03:15.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,some pots on your balcony, or you have a

Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.09,0:03:20.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,4 feet in your front or backyard. Start
Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.79,0:03:24.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,small, and then as you have success, then
Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.36,0:03:27.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you can expand, and each season or each
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.08,0:03:30.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,year, you can grow and you can grow more
Dialogue: 0,0:03:30.12,0:03:34.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and more and more. So start small, and
Dialogue: 0,0:03:34.50,0:03:36.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,along the lines off starting small I
Dialogue: 0,0:03:36.66,0:03:39.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,recommend making a plan.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:39.27,0:03:42.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,With most things in life, if you make
Dialogue: 0,0:03:42.12,0:03:44.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,somewhat of a plan, you are more likely
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.59,0:03:49.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to be successful with it. If you know what
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.87,0:03:53.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you are doing going into it. So before
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.30,0:04:00.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,jumping into it, have a plan, make a plan!
Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.01,0:04:02.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The next thing to go along with starting
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.24,0:04:06.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,small is to keep a journal. A lot of
Dialogue: 0,0:04:06.80,0:04:09.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,things in gardening, if you know when you
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.87,0:04:11.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,planted something, or when you
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.72,0:04:14.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,transplanted it, it is going to help you
Dialogue: 0,0:04:14.23,0:04:17.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,be a lot more organized and a lot more
Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.08,0:04:20.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,successful in gardening. Just, in your
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.56,0:04:22.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,garden journal, just keeping track of the
Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.72,0:04:24.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,basic things, like when you planted
Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.44,0:04:26.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,something, when you transplanted it, you
Dialogue: 0,0:04:26.74,0:04:28.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,can keep track of weather, and this is
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.72,0:04:30.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,also a beautiful way to connect as well,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:30.85,0:04:32.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to be able to go back and look at things,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:32.82,0:04:34.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and in future years, this can help you as
Dialogue: 0,0:04:34.80,0:04:37.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,well. So, making a plan and keeping a
Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.67,0:04:40.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,garden journal are just some basics to go
Dialogue: 0,0:04:40.01,0:04:42.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,along with starting small. Now, one of my
Dialogue: 0,0:04:42.39,0:04:45.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,big things is, it is really about seeking
Dialogue: 0,0:04:45.47,0:04:47.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,local resources. A lot of people, when
Dialogue: 0,0:04:47.72,0:04:50.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,they first start to garden, their thought
Dialogue: 0,0:04:50.84,0:04:53.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is to go to the big box store, like
Dialogue: 0,0:04:53.34,0:04:55.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Home Depot or Walmart, and buy their seeds
Dialogue: 0,0:04:55.61,0:04:58.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or buy their plants, but that is not my
Dialogue: 0,0:04:58.82,0:05:01.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,suggestion. My suggestion is to seek out
Dialogue: 0,0:05:01.18,0:05:05.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,local resources if you can. You might think
Dialogue: 0,0:05:05.32,0:05:07.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that your Walmart or your Home Depot is
Dialogue: 0,0:05:07.78,0:05:09.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,local, because it is in your city, but it
Dialogue: 0,0:05:09.74,0:05:12.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is not local, because those materials are
Dialogue: 0,0:05:12.45,0:05:15.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,being shipped in from elsewhere and it is
Dialogue: 0,0:05:15.08,0:05:18.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not really focused on your particular
Dialogue: 0,0:05:18.27,0:05:21.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,region. In permaculture, one of the basic
Dialogue: 0,0:05:21.55,0:05:24.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ideas is to work with the earth rather
Dialogue: 0,0:05:24.14,0:05:26.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,than against it, and working with the
Dialogue: 0,0:05:26.20,0:05:28.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,earth means working within the region
Dialogue: 0,0:05:28.99,0:05:31.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,around you, not the entire earth.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:31.23,0:05:33.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Once you start working with plants, you
Dialogue: 0,0:05:33.19,0:05:34.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,have to work with the plants that are
Dialogue: 0,0:05:34.98,0:05:37.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,growing in your area. So, seeking out
Dialogue: 0,0:05:37.83,0:05:41.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,local resources. One big one is joining a
Dialogue: 0,0:05:41.63,0:05:44.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,community garden. If you especially are
