Spring is here!  While we're at home with our kids, what a great opportunity to make starting the garden a family project.  Truth be told, I've always taken the shortcut of buying plants in containers.  But this year...seeds!  Our guest, Lilly Steirer, shares with us the ins & outs of growing seedlings along with a lot of other gardening wisdom.  

Lilly is a passionate chef & gardener who teaches the kids' Cooking From the Garden program at Slow Food Denver.  She's also the co-host of Sustainable Colorado, where she and her husband share their family's adventures in minimizing waste during their Zero Waste Year.

In our conversation, Lilly shares:

• Techniques for growing seedlings that may be surprising if the last time you learned to plant seeds was pre-school - and which plants make the best candidates for seedlings
• How to grow a salad in a pot
• The most "traumatic" and important part of gardening that most people skip
• How most of us garden the way conventional farming is done, and better approaches for biodiversity and thriving crops
