This week we’re doing something different — a full summer garden seed draft. Just like a fantasy draft, we took turns picking from the same pool of crops to build our ultimate garden teams. From tomatoes and peppers to squash, melons, herbs, and even a wild card round, every choice mattered. Once a variety was picked, it was off the board — and yes, there was stealing involved. This episode is part strategy, part chaos, and a surprisingly great way to think about what actually deserves space in a summer garden. Let us know whose garden you’d plant and what you would’ve drafted instead.Our main accounts:@meggrowsplants @thecottagepeach Listen on Spotify:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-garden-girlsFollow us on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/garden-girls-podcast/id1763113032Follow us on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/gardengirlspod/Follow us on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@gardengirlspod***Links***Meg's Planting Calendar:https://meg-grows-plants.myshopify.com/collections/allEpic Gardening:https://shop.epicgardening.com/GARDENGIRLSCode for 5% off!GARDENGIRLS*These codes are affiliate links that we receive commissions from and help to support the podcast!*
