Flower Friends

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.

Here's the link for The Daily's Sunday Read: The Woman Who Made Van Gogh - an incredible article & podcast from 2021 that Sarah mentions - relating to her song of the week, Vincent by Don McClean. She also loves James Blake's version of the song.
