GROW CUT FLOWERS TO BRIGHTEN YOUR HOME AND SAVE POUNDS
The long Easter weekend is the perfect time to sow cut flower seeds to supply you with blooms for picking throughout summer and into autumn. The soil should be warm enough by now to sow hardy annuals direct and half hardies will easily germinate if sown into seed trays and placed on a warm and bright windowsill or in a greenhouse. You don’t need a lot of space to produce enough blooms to fill a vase or two each week during the summer. The key is
