MAKING GOOD WINE IN NIAGARA & ROLLING WITH THE PUNCHES | ft. Allison Findlay, @winemakersboots (from https://www.flatrockcellars.com/) Your source of garden + life inspiration - Season One | Episode 3 Life seeds is the intersection of learning more about our garden and ourselves. Growth can be experienced in many different ways and can be observed in many different ways. But before growth can happen, seeds have to be planted. Today we take our garden chat to the vineyard and boy are we ready for it! ABOUT OUR GUEST ALLISON Originally from Dryden, Allison was on a trip to visit friends in Niagara, when she toured a winery. The person behind to tasting bar fascinated her with the notions of wine being a blend of art and science. A way to take nature and put it into the bottle, a fabulous dance of smell, taste and feel. She was SOLD. She first completed her Undergraduate in Biology at Lakehead University, before venturing off to her new life in Southern Ontario. Attending Niagara College's Winery and Viticulture Technician program was the perfect compliment to her previous science education, as well as opened her eyes to the vast world of wine. After participating in multiple vintages both locally and internationally, she finally found her true love on the Twenty Mile Bench. At Flat Rock Cellars, she took her passion for science, nature and creativity and now produces exceptional terroir-focused wines.

The ones that sink or the ones that float? Short answer is the ones that sink are going to be more viable to germinate. (Water test: Take your seeds and put them in a container of water. Let them sit for about 15 minutes. Then if the seeds sink, they are still viable; if they float, they most likely will not sprout. This method, in my opinion, is not the best way to check your seeds. For surer results, try performing a germination test.
