This week Sarah covers her latest haps - including making an elopement bouquet & sweet pea tunnel, plus a hot tip to germinate sweet peas at cooler temps, then chats with her friend Margaret Ullman-Hess from Ballard Urban Flowers all about seed starting! Margaret describes her seed starting set-up, gives tips for thinking about soil temperatures, light, acclimating & feeding seedlings, and other factors that will affect germination and plant health, and discusses some of the flower varieties she is growing in her urban garden.
