The Beginner’s Garden with Jill McSheehy
Welcome to our first Friday bonus episode of the season! As you gear up for gardening this year, we're diving into a topic that has been the biggest game-changer for my garden’s productivity: understanding the differences between cool-season and warm-season crops.
We’ll explore: 🌱 Why some crops thrive in cool weather while others prefer heat 🌡️ The science behind plant temperature preferences and how enzymes react to different conditions 🌾 How temperature affects seed germination, growth, and fruit production ❄️ Heat- and cold-adaptive strategies plants use to survive extreme temperatures
Plus, I’ll share real-life examples from my own garden that have helped me make better planting decisions—and how you can apply them to maximize your harvest.
