This week we're chatting with Hilary Dahl from Seattle Urban Farm Company, all about garden beds, building beds on impervious surfaces, favorite flowers to grow with veggies, edible flowers, and some of Hilary's tips to help beginning gardeners be successful. Sarah gives her garden & business updates in the intro, and kicks off "Flower Facts" and "Song of the Week" in the outro. For this week's Flower Fact, Sarah explains how to make sure cut daffodils don't kill your other flowers in the vase.
