The seed starting episode is in! On this episode, I share how I start seeds here at grow Girl Seattle, both for indoor and outdoor sowing. I go through my timing, what my setup is like, cover the tools and supplies I use, how I get my seeds started, and share some tips and tricks I’ve picked up along the way. Today you'll also get some updates on Season 4, which is coming out shortly, and on our new Flower Friends Hotline! You can call in and leave a message or ask a question, and your voicemail might get played on the podcast. Call 7313-FLOWER, or 731-335-6937 to leave a voicemail!
