This week is all about signature flowers and seed starting! In this two part series, I’ll walk you through an exercise I decided to do before starting seeds this year, and give some updates on where I’m at with seed sowing.
Part I covers what I’m calling my “signature ingredients exercise”, which is a brainstorm and narrowing process to get your seed-sowing list down to your favorite flowers and foliage. In this episode, I describe my general process, but don't give you the specifics from my list. That way if you’d like to use the process, you can safely listen to Part I without having my favorite flowers fresh on your brain or being influenced by any of my opinions.
After you put your pen to paper, you may want to catalogue it in a spreadsheet, which I discuss on the episode. If you'd like to see the spreadsheet template I use, here's the link.
Then in Part II (which will be released as a separate episode), I’ll walk you through my actual brainstorm, to really illustrate the exercise, give you the specific plant lists many of you have asked me for, and talk about some of my preferences, themes, and realizations in more detail. I'll also discuss my seed-starting set up and sowing plans.
But as always, my biggest takeaway and advice is to connect with yourself and identify your priorities to make sure whatever you're doing aligns with you. Hope you'll give this exercise a try, and I'll be back soon with Part II!

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
