How to Start Seeds for a Beautiful Flower Garden This Year
So, if you want to be the standout home on your block, have flowers for bouquets all summer long, and foster relationships with family and friends, you’ll want to start your own cut flower garden from seed.
Here’s why:
It gives you the opportunity to be picky so you can choose the exact plant varieties and colors you desire which means you can create eye-catching flower beds.
You can start growing sooner and scratch that winter gardening itch which means you’ll have blooms for bouquets much earlier.
It gives you the freedom to easily manage plant needs (such as fertilizing) so they thrive which means you’ll enjoy healthy, productive plants. Plants grown in large commercial greenhouses can fall through the cracks and suffer from pest infestation and bacterial or fungal infections which can result in damage or stunted growth.
You’ll end up with healthier plants resulting in more vigorous flower production which means you’ll have more bouquets to place throughout your home or share with family and friends.
It will give you immense satisfaction as you’re caring for your flowers throughout the summer knowing you started this process and are now reaping the rewards.
Let me help you get started with a supply list. (I’ve linked to same or similar products I use, when possible.)
zip ties (to attach chains for shop lights)
timer (so you don’t have to remember to turn lights on and off)
extension chords (enough to plug in all lights and heat mats)
table/workbench
seeds (I like Johnny’s and Swallowtail)
Hopefully I’ve convinced you to gather up supplies and give seed starting a try. Cheers to beautiful flowers this year!!
