New Day Cleveland — Spring Kitchen Garden Segments
In this live backyard segment on New Day Cleveland, I walk viewers through what’s actually happening in a Northeast Ohio kitchen garden right now—and why this is one of the most misunderstood (and most productive) times of the growing season.
We dive into:
What’s thriving in the spring cool season garden
Why you don’t need to wait until Mother’s Day to start growing
The biggest mistake gardeners are making right now (and how to avoid it)
How to properly transition into your warm season garden
Why timing—and understanding the seasons—changes everything
These segments are all about simplifying the process of growing your own food and helping you build confidence in your garden, no matter where you’re starting.
