Hi Grow Guiders! We think you'll absolutely LOVE this month's episode with special guest, Stefan Reiner from Blue Lagoon Organics. Stefan + his team offer fresh garden produce 52 weeks of the year at Manitoba's St.Norbert Farmer's Market. YES, year round gardening here in Zone 3!

We talk about "flexing" in today's episode (in regards to growing artichokes & chickpeas) and having Stefan on as a guest is a serious FLEX. This is Stefan's second time on The Grow Guide. If you like today's interview, you can go back and listen to our chat from 2018 linked here.

Here’s some additional images from Stefan of their farm.
