0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the show.
0:18.2	We are sprouting fresh ideas this week. Yes, it's on the ledge so along. Part two. The revenge. Yeah, that's not quite right. Not the revenge. More like the redemption.
0:33.3	Anywho, I am chatting to Alina Smith of Houseplant Seed Cellars Plant Flicks and I answer a question about a homilomena.
0:43.7	Why is it, I can't say that word without wanting to go do-do do-do do-do.
0:49.2	Maybe that's just me.
0:54.0	Welcome one, welcome all to On the Ledge. This is the podcast about indoor gardening where I chat to
1:01.4	the experts, dispense advice and build a community with you and people like you. And if this is your
1:09.1	first time listening or your 500th, yes, there are people who listen to episodes more than once, welcome to the show.

2:19.8	beef up your knowledge of this topic. I love to get everyone involved in this. So, if you are
2:26.4	sowing seed, you can use the hashtag O'TL Sewalong. That's what Glass House and Garden did recently
2:33.3	over on Instagram showing off a lovely array of
2:36.7	freshly sewn seed pots, all done with the help of their mum, which I love to see.
