A Note from Susan

Hello, gardening friends!

Oct. 31, 2024 _ I can’t believe it’s the last day of October already! We’ve had stunning fall colors and now those beautiful leaves are raining down from trees and shrubs as the temperatures continue to drop.

I have a new video for you: My Top Garden Takeaways from 2024. In it, I share all sorts of tips and surprises we experienced in the garden this year. This includes how succession planting works, which is an easy way to get much more produce from the same amount of garden space each year.

I recently created an Amazon store since I get a lot of questions about the various tools and products I use. This includes hand tools, food preservation, garden books (including my own books), seed-starting equipment, organic products and those all important gardener’s must-haves!  Here’s a direct link to it. You can also learn more about it on my new Shop page on this website. I won’t recommend something that I don’t use!

I recently completed this year’s “Vegetable Garden Report Card.” That’s where I rate how each crop performed for us. You can find it under the “Guides” menu (Vegetable Report Card – 2024). So many people have told me they find these super helpful so I’m happy to continue with the tradition.

What kind of gardening challenges did you encounter this season? Consider purchasing a copy of my book, The Vegetable Garden Problem Solver Handbook because it covers exactly what you need to know to be a successful gardener. In it, I address weather-related issues (including heat and drought), vegetable disorders and diseases, germination and pollination problems, dealing with all sorts of critters in the garden and so much more. To order a signed copy from me, just send an email to Susan@SusansintheGarden.com and I’ll take care of you quickly. If you would prefer to order it directly from Amazon, here is my affiliate link to it. (I will earn a commission but it won’t affect the price you pay.) Or you can purchase it in my Amazon shop at the link above. Thank you for supporting your friendly author!
