In this Tip Tuesdays segment recorded in September in West Virginia, the host reflects on the dilemma of transitioning from a summer garden—still full of tomatoes—to a fall garden. He emphasizes that a successful fall garden requires deliberately letting go of the summer crops and following specific steps. While joking that viewers could simply Google the steps, he promotes a free, end‑of‑September workshop offered through his school community for homesteaders interested in fall gardening, permaculture, and creative land‑finding. The monologue is a single‑person, informal call‑to‑action encouraging viewers to embrace the seasonal shift and join the workshop.

Alright, Tip Tuesdays. It's September, we're in West Virginia, so you have to make a hard decision now. Am I gonna grow a fall garden? In order to do that, you have to make the decision to let go. But I still got stuff growing. I still have so many tomatoes. Yeah, half of you are already ready to quit anyway, so let's not pretend. I think a fall garden is probably my favorite type of garden, but the only way to really get there is you have to let go of your summer garden because there are some steps you have to do to make sure that your fall garden is successful. Like, Caleb, I don't know what to do. What are the steps? Well, Google it. But if you don't want to Google it, we're holding a free workshop again in September, the end of the month, on the fall garden. It's absolutely free in our school community. Guys, we do free workshops all the time. So if you're a homesteader looking to build skills, if you're wanting to learn permaculture, Or if you're wanting to learn how to find land in creative ways, this group's for you. So make like a door and dash.
