Hello and welcome back to the EB podcast! We’re so excited to be back and we’re looking forward to a full year of podcasts in 2017. It’ll be fun to start right at the beginning of the year and talk about the season as it progresses! Growing from seed can have the potential to dramatically increase your opportunities for better yields by allowing you much more control over the varieties of each crop that you can plant in the garden. Keeping a well-stocked seed library also allows you to take advantage of production opportunities on your own schedule throughout the season. We've started a Patreon page so if you're enjoying this podcast, consider making a contribution:  https://www.patreon.com/encyclopediabotanica Don't forget to Tweet us @seattleurbnfarm using hashtag #EBpodcast with your garden questions!
