Good things come to those that wait, right? In this episode, Janey talks about the challenges of waiting in the garden and discusses the importance of delayed gratification, not only in gardening, but in life! 

You can’t rush Mother Nature and trying will only lead to frustration. Gardening is a practice in patience, a practice in mindfulness and Janey talks how the garden can teach us to slow down and appreciate all stages of your garden’s lifecycle. The garden can be a powerful teacher and Janey encourages you to find the beauty in each stage of the journey.

So whether you're starting from seed or nurturing young plants, this episode is a reminder to slow down, enjoy the process, and trust that everything grows in its own time. After all, that’s what gardening is all about!
