Tanks Mouse! So glad it went well, it was a fun class to teach, although obviously I could have gone on for more hours! Thanks too for the reminder about Skillshare – I always forget about those opportunities. I've been thinking about creating some downloadable pdf's also on how to raise specific plants (poppies, sweet peas, etc) – wondering if there would be any interest it those?

I really enjoyed the workshop on Saturday. Maybe this year I'll have success (beyond the first month or two) with my English sweet peas!
I don't know where you want to take the horticulture side of your career but I think you'd be fantastic doing similar specialized online workshops/classes (whether self-hosted or via Skillshare or Craftsy). As you noted early on, it can be really difficult to find precise and practical guidance for learning about some of these topics (beyond a rote couple of pages in a book that might raise more questions about specifics than it answers). I would imagine that your greenhouse- and winter-growing knowledge would be particularly valuable. Just a thought.
