10 Fall Garden Clean Up and Winter Gardening With Bettylou Sandy Part 1

Bettylou Sandy from Bettylou's Garden is back with us to talk about fall cleanup and putting our gardens to sleep for winter gardening. We covered a lot of information, so I've divided the interview into two parts. Part 1, we cover vegetable gardening and what to do to prep our gardens for winter.

Bettylou is a treasure trove of information, so make sure you grab a notebook and take notes, or better yet - hop over to our website and download her handouts and follow along.

In addition, Bettylou has graciously given you her notes from her gardening classes and they'll be available for free download in the LLH show notes. Links to the website will be in the show notes.

At the end of the interview, I'll also have the list of her upcoming videos she is scheduled to do on the Spruce Street Community Garden Facebook Page.

I'll post the second half of the show next week. We cover indoor gardening, winter gardening, prepping your lawn, shrubs, trees, including conifers and perennials.

We touch on community gardens, tools, and she recommends a book about community gardening for those interested in starting one.

She also answered the question about fertilizing your plants during the winter. What do you think she said?

Make sure you check out the show notes and download her documents. Also go over to all her Facebook links and say hello to her!

If you want to catch her gardening videos, she will be posting them on the Spruce Street Community Garden Facebook page. Links will be in the show notes.
