I just read in the March, Growing for Market, an article by Erin of Floret Flowers on Succession planting is the key to having flowers all season long. I am extremely bad at succession planting. So bad that there are weeks without much going on as far as blooms to pick. So I have taken this article to heart. I made out a list of plant "must haves," that will give me blooms all summer long. I have narrowed it down to what I absolutely cannot live without. The down side is I have put in my seed orders and received all of my seed, several times over. In reality I have most of the seeds to plant I just need to plant them in succession. So today I placed another order. I will have some exciting sunflowers I just can't wait!
I will have tons of blue flowers this year: Cerinthe, Bachelor Buttons, Flax, Forget Me Not, Scabiosa, Ageratum, Nigella, Sweet peas, Canterbury bells, Hydrangea. I am probably forgetting a few.
How exciting! All those blues will be so wonderful. How do you narrow down? I just want one of everything.
ReplyDeleteI was hard to narrow it down, seed is so expensive.
