I’m telling you, I listen to you so much I feel like I know you personally 😊
I’m zone 3 and mainly grow vegetables, just a few garden flowers and potted annuals. I started researching cut flower gardening for my daughter when she moved back up here and is starting a vegetable and flower farm……well darn, now I want to be a flower farmer :)
I’m 55 and don’t have enough land and life left to start such an adventure by myself to make a living, my daughter doesn’t want a partner in business, so I’ll just dream and plant as much as I can to sell at the end of my driveway:))
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!!

I'm growing cut flowers for my sister's wedding in late June.

We have very few perrenials to work with.

What could we plant from seed and start indoors in order to get blooms by then?

I started chaubad's carnation from seed a few weeks ago and I'm hoping they bloom in June. What other seeds can I start for June blooms.

I'm in Winnipeg Manitoba Canada

Does anyone know how to get the planting guide ???
I follow where she says to go over on her site, signed up, have searched through emails and every link on her site…..no planting guide :(

I started calendula in Aug/Sept, got them out in Oct maybe, and they bloomed before Christmas. So they are done :( SC Zone 8. Had a long warm fall.
