About this episode
Looking forward to a flower-filled garden all summer long? Wondering when to plant, and how to adjust your grow room to provide the optimal environment for warm-season seeds and seedlings? Today, Lisa and Layne discuss their checklist of key items to keep in mind when planning your warm-season plantings and sowing your seeds. They cover when to plant, how many seeds to sow relative to the number of plants you hope to end up with, the ideal grow room temperature and heat mat setup for warm-season seeds and seedlings, and the importance of hardening off, plus weed prevention, irrigation, and succession-planting considerations.
