This week on the Gardenerd Tip of the Week Podcast our guest is Angela Judd, a certified Master Gardener and mother of five. Angela shares gardening tips through her YouTube channel with nearly 250K subscribers, her blog, online classes, and her book How to Grow Your Own Food: An illustrated Beginner’s Guide to Container Gardening.
