Watch (and learn!) as Lynn Gillespie—an organic farmer for over 25 years and owner of The Living Farm in Paonia, CO—plans, plants, tends, and harvests a high-performance garden.
Lynn has a unique “learn along with me” garden teaching system. You will actually get to see everything she does in her garden for the entire season. Will she make it? Will the bugs get everything? Will the deer destroy her plants? Will sudden freezes or the burning summer sun wipe her out?
Lynn’s goal for her garden is to produce enough food so that she can eat something she’s grown every day for a year.
Follow along with the ups and downs of this experienced gardener. It will be just like being in the garden with her!

Wow, I love Lynn’s garden and her info. I always learn something in each episode and I’m on my 46th veggie garden! I had been searching for answers to squash bugs but I see the way I’ve been doing it is the way she does it — tear off the section of leaf with the eggs and get any adults I can find. What I did learn was that Captain Jack’s will get the nymphs, the little spidery babies, so my order of that just arrived and I feel armed! Will it get cucumber beetles? Another topic — planting basil with tomatoes. I read that the basil can improve the flavor of the tomatoes — have you found that? Many thanks for these videos, Lynn!
