In previous episodes we have talked about some of the key concepts for growing plants.  Now it’s time to get your hands dirty.  Growing plants is a huge hobby with tons of options. So where do you start?

In the garden, seed is everything. Seeds represent potential, hope, and rebirth.  Every gardener knows the feeling of sowing seeds in the garden, seeing them sprout, and nursing them along throughout the growing season. In this episode, we explore the basic science behind seeds. We’ll also hear from April Shelhon at Botanical Interests about how the seeds you find in packets at the store get there, and she’ll also share some tips on starting seeds at home.

Join me, John Morgan, every two weeks during the summer as I explore the basics of gardening.  Gardening is fun and rewarding, but it can be a challenge for beginners.  Whether you just want to grow flowers in a pot on you front porch or acres of vegetables to sell at the local farmer’s market, this is the podcast for you!
