In this full episode of the Beet Podcast, Jacques and Shannie McCabe discuss the benefits and pitfalls of leaning into the seasons versus fighting them. Shannie describes her adventures working for a large heirloom seed company, and the plant trickery involved in growing new seeds. The two share their favorite plants to grow in the regions they live in, and how they pivot when seasonal shifts occur.
Shannie McCabe grew up on an island farm in Rhode Island, where she learned to grow in an extreme climate. After receiving a Bachelors from the University of Rhode Island in Environmental Horticulture with a focus in Sustainable Agriculture, Shannie worked on various organic vegetable and flower farms across the country. Through her 15 years of farming, she maintained her passion for home gardening. Today, she grows a thriving food forest in Central Florida.
