Growing cotton

Has anyone ever grown cotton in their home garden? I've just ordered seeds for 3 different coloured cotton so would like some growing tips form anyone with experience. I am after the bolls as I'm a spinner and thought it might be interesting to try to grow my own cotton so I'm after the flowers followed by the bolls. I had thought that feeding with 'flower and fruit' fertiliser might be appropriate once I get them growing. As I recall from studying cotton in elementary school more than 60 years ago, cotton plants require a lot of water and some fertilizer. However, the bolls are damaged if the plant gets rain as the bolls are ripening. -- David E.
