In Zone 8b, seed starting is just around the corner. To prepare, I’ve been taking stock of my seeds, organizing my planting calendar, and gathering/cleaning all the essential supplies. This year, I’ll be growing all my favourites from past seasons, in addition to trialing a few new varieties to add texture to arrangements.
If you’re like me, you pore over seed options for hours resisting the urge to buy every colour and form offered! (I must admit, I have a supply of seed packages in the office that have never been opened.) As I plan for season three at the farm, I’m more focused than ever on creating a field where flower colour is in harmony across every row and where forms are selected carefully to bring depth and interest to each arrangement.
