Our New Gardening Channel-Seed List 2019 Portland

I am starting the 2019 Gardening Season with my Seed Selection video. Caroline and I are very excited about the upcoming season and have got together virtually to discuss our goals for the season and special projects we will be working on. One project is working on our YouTube channel. We are trying to learn the ins and outs of making videos so please excuse any glaring errors that we might make.
