					<description><![CDATA[One of the areas we occasionally like to cover are the actual mechanics of how to do things. Some things aren&#8217;t entirely straight forward, such as removing a plug from a seeding tray. If you simply grab the seedling and try to pull it out, there&#8217;s a very good chance you&#8217;ll cause damage. At best, [&#8230;]]]></description>

Let&#8217;s talk about why it&#8217;s no big deal! Generally speaking, competition like this is not a desirable thing. There are a few &#8220;clustering&#8221; type plants that like it, such as mint and lobelia. For [&#8230;]]]></description>

The gist is that different seeds require differing amounts of soil placed on top of them. Some require more, some less. Some seeds need what&#8217;s called a surface sow, which [&#8230;]]]></description>

You&#8217;ve probably heard that too much water isn&#8217;t good and too little isn&#8217;t good, either. So, let&#8217;s navigate the ambiguity!

					<description><![CDATA[As diverse northern flower growers, one of the things we&#8217;ve heavily encountered is the need to perform cold stratification. This is common to see across native northern flower varieties, essentially simulating the winter the seed would experience in nature. Typically, it&#8217;s done via refrigeration or freezing the seeds. In years past, we&#8217;ve had somewhat complicated [&#8230;]]]></description>

Especially for us northerners that pay a pretty penny for their electricity. Energy is, hands down, the largest cost input of raising our garden from seed in the subarctic!

					<description><![CDATA[OK, one of our readers wanted us to dive deep into hydrophobic soils in the nursery setting this season. To get everyone on the same page, hydrophobia is a soil that tends to repel water instead of absorb it. Perhaps the most obvious thing would be if a soil throws you a lot of troubles, [&#8230;]]]></description>

So, let&#8217;s explore what contributes to fast germination and what can slow it down. The biggest key to fast germination lies in temperature. The best way to explain it is that most seeds tolerate a fairly large temperature range where the seed will [&#8230;]]]></description>
