? Recommended flowers for cutting
In part of our garden I have a strip, which because of its sort of hidden
location, I used for a few vegetables. But repeated trips away meant I was either unable to tend them or, even worse, to harvest them. What is more I found they demanded a disproportionate amount of my gardening time. So this strip has laid fallow for a few years. But it looks so untidy with nothing growing in it that I have decided to give it over to flowers grown in rows for cutting for the house. This means I shall be able to mulch them to keep the weeds down. My problem is that although I have a reasonably good gardening experience I have never grown flowers for cutting. My first thoughts are sweet peas, chrysanthemums and dahlias (things I don't currently grow in the rest of the garden) - even though I have no specific knowledge of the best varieties of these. But there must be other things that I haven't thought of, so any suggestions you can make would be most welcome. Clearly they should be things that are not an enormous amount of trouble otherwise I shall be back where I started. Derek Carver Oxshott, Surrey |
