Title: Great 'cutting garden 'site
Post by: markfield rover on January 21, 2014, 13:41:51
Yet again this year I shall try to grow flowers for cutting without being too ambitious etc and I have found this site higgledygarden.com  I think I shall learn a lot and he has grown all the plants so seems to know a thing or two plus it's a good read.

Looks interesting and at the very bottom of the site are the archives with even more.
Now if all this snow ever stops (our state has had 57 inches total this winter last and more predicted Monday), I could get started.

That's a lot of snow GrannieAnnie. I've been reading what a hard winter it has been in some parts of the US and Canada. Hope spring comes quickly for you  :happy7:

I forgot to say what a lovely site http://higgledygarden.com/ is. I followed your recommendation a while back, but got lost in there for a while  :happy7:

Your winter sounds as if it has been horrendous.  My daughter has a friend in Pennsylvania and it has been -15 or worse for day after day.  Your heating bills must be enormous.  Though I suppose the snow is a good insulator.

All seems very odd because it has been unusually wet and warm here.  There have been loads of problems with flooding and damage from ocean storms.  Last night we had frost for the first time in weeks.

We had a very cold march last year my windowsills then were crammed full. But it seemed to get the apple trees cropping big time.    This year it is so tempting to put things outside, yet our winter might still produce a sting in its tail.   Though we are due a minor heatwave later in the week.
