You've been in the dirt before.

Something went wrong — maybe the plants died, maybe the pests won, maybe after all that work the tomatoes just tasted like nothing. And somewhere along the way you started wondering if you were just not cut out for this.

You are. It was the wrong information for your zone, your soil, your space, your season. Generic gardening advice fails real gardeners all the time. A plan built around your actual circumstances doesn't.

Here are three things that will make this season different:

Here are your three first steps:

1. Figure out what actually went wrong. Most garden failures come down to one of three things: wrong crop for the season, wrong soil for the setup, or too much too soon. Before you plant anything new, get clear on which one it was. That clarity changes everything.
2. Simplify your setup. If your last garden felt like a lot of work for not much return, the setup was probably working against you. Raised beds and containers with good quality potting mix are forgiving, low-maintenance, and give you much more control than in-ground gardening in most situations.
3. Start with one crop you actually care about. Pick one thing your family loves to eat and grow just that this season. One success builds more confidence than ten mediocre harvests.

Those three steps will help you see that what happened before had a reason — and a fix. But if you'd love someone to sit with you, look at your specific situation, and tell you exactly which of those things went wrong in your garden and precisely what to do differently this season, that's what a session with me does.

You'll leave not just with a better plan — but knowing that what happened before wasn't failure. It was just the wrong starting point. And now you have the right one.

The Intentional Garden Session is a 60-minute one-on-one video call with me on Zoom.
