Thursday Thirteen #1 - The Garden 13
Thought we would join in the Thursday Thirteen fun this week. Instead of 13 things about Me - I have created The Garden 13 with 13 interesting gardening tips and tricks I’ve come across over the past week.
To start off our first Garden 13 - we have information on cutting flowers from your garden. Nearly any flower, twig, berry or leaf can be brough indoors and put in a vase. If you have the space, you can indulge in a cutting garden just for flowers from your regular beds and borders. In fact, cutting them makes your garden prettier, because it encourages flower production. Another way to grow flowers for cutting is to plant them in rows in your vegetable garden. This is especially practical with fast-growing annuals planted from seed, such as zinnias and cosmos.
Here are thirteen great flowers for cutting:
- Aster
- Baby’s breath
- Black Eyed Susan
- Dahlia
- Gerbera Daisy
- Iris, all types
- Lavender
- Lily-of-the-Valley
- Peony
- Roses
- Shasta Daisy
- Snapdragon
- Sweet Pea
The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!
