This is my first time on DG and I am glad to join. I have a small backyard that I started planting last year. I have 2 dogs so I had trouble keeping my plants as they liked making crop circles in my flower beds so this year I built them up to a height of about 12'-18' high. I limited thier access to the yard this year and my garden took off. I compost regularily and have been swapping seeds, bulbs, etc. with the neighbours. I received some Rose of Sharon Tree seeds and I want to germinate them indoors over the winter. How do I go about doing this? What is the best way to get good results? If they turn out, I would like to bonsai some of the seedlings and grow at least one tree in my backyard. Can anyone help me with this?
Thank you,
Dwight.
p.s. I am attaching a picture of my garden from this summer. It may be a little dark but I took the pictures in the evening with a flash. I get the morning sun and the late afternoon sun, my yard faces north.
