I'm so excited to share this nugget of knowledge with you today, Plant Friends, because it's always been a really confusing concept to me.

And I regret being intimidated by it and taking the time I took to dive into this concept because man seed starting has been so fun it's

been one of the most joyful ways that I've interacted with plants in the last couple of

years because it's totally sparked that inner delight that I used to have as a newbie when I had just started out with tropical plants.

There's just the most amazing feeling that you get when you take this tiny little seed that you can barely see and you stick it in some

soil and it bursts forth and develops into a plant let alone if you can eat whatever

it produces after if you know you know you know what I mean But seed starting is kind of a whole different science and

practice on its own or acquire special soil, different care, growlites and water

monitoring and interesting practices to make sure that your seeds actually sprout.

And seed scarification is one of those practices that I just had no interest in even trying because I was just like what the heck is that?

But no fear in today's nugget of knowledge, our horticulturist and residents in the

Blumen Gros Garden Society, Leslie Halleck,

will be walking us through why seed scarification is so important

and gives us some suggestions on how to do it

if you're Jones in to try it.

So welcome back to another negative knowledge on Blue Mangro Radio.

Hello, hello sweet plant friends. I hope you've had beautifully planty weeks and that you are

enjoying this new mini series that we have been sharing on Blumengrow radio. It's many episodes,

they're never going to be over about five to ten minutes that are little nuggets of knowledge that are being shared in the Bloom and Grow Garden society.

Obviously to get the full benefits of these lectures and of Leslie and everything that's going on.

You must join us in the Garden Society, but there's so much good conversations and knowledge

going on.
