Episode Details

Hello, it's Tuesday 10 March 2026.

Tonight I'm talking about how I'm sowing my sweet pea seeds and share some techniques that save me time and money. Every penny (and second) counts when starting seeds because it directly impacts the cost of producing each flower stem. And this of course matters when I'm aiming for profit.

I discuss the soil blocker that I'm using (link below for the one I have, not an ad) and I'm wondering if you've tried the new 'Snail' technique that everyone on instagram seems to be doing? Does it work for you? Finally I answer a great question from a listener about which plants to grow together in a bed. I really hope I've answered this question properly.

On the next episode I'm going to talk about my new cut flower website including hosting, domains, templates, plus some hints and tips if you're thinking about making your own. So I hope you enjoy this episode and that you'll come back and join me for the next one - you're always very welcome.
