Where do most plants come from? Well, SEEDS, of course! So now is the time to start your cool season garden from seed. For this topic called “Seed Starting for the Fall Season”, UC Master Gardener Dece Morgan will talk to fellow Master Gardener Teena Spindler about the most inexpensive way to start a bountiful vegetable garden. Some seeds don’t take much to germinate but others may take a little coaxing. Key is consistent water (soil moisture). Spring is past but get ready for our second growing season coming up! KUCI Host in-studio is Bill Brooks and he will pass along some current events sponsored by UCCE Master Gardeners of Orange County. Learn from the best here on In the Garden with UC Master Gardeners.
