Episode 35 - Sunflowers

It’s The Grow Guide’s first episode outdoors at Sage Garden Greenhouses and it feels GREAT to be chatting about gardening right in the garden. Maggie and Dave update everyone on their gardens/greenhouses and share a favourite houseplant and herb that surprisingly both grow well in northern conditions. Before jumping into this week’s topic, they answer a listener’s question about pruning peppers and removing early flowers from tomato plants. Then the duo gets into sunflowers — the flower of summer! They go over direct sowing versus starting indoors, varieties for boarders versus cut flowers, edible vs. non edible sunflowers and annual versus perennial. Manitoba listeners won’t want to miss out on this week’s awesome promo, so listen up for the secret code word.
