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.
