Another grower friend is gardening in the high desert. For instance, one of my farming friends in northern Vermont only has 90 frost-free days during which to grow flowers! So they stick to cool weather-lovers that are fast to flower, and anything heat-loving and tender must be grown in a hoophouse. How long is your growing season, and what’s your climate like? Factors like where you live and how long your growing season lasts will dictate what varieties will grow and thrive in your area. This really, really helps me stay in touch with the actual space I have to fill. I have a 2-acre field map, with every single bed and hoophouse drawn out. You’ll want to go out and take measurements of the space(s) you have to work with so that once we dig into the planning steps you can be as accurate as possible. If you only have a shade to work with, don’t worry-I’ll give you some suggestions for varieties that like those conditions too. But before you go hog wild ordering up a storm, it’s important to get an idea of how much good growing ground you can actually set aside.Īlmost all of the flower varieties we offer in the Floret Shop prefer full sun, so try to find a location that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight a day. How much space do you have to work with? Even if you only have a few pots on your deck or a small garden plot in your backyard, it’s still possible to have fresh flowers in your life. From here planning will be so much easier.
The process will help narrow down your choices, and you’ll get really clear, really fast. So, before we dig into the nitty gritty how-to posts, I want you to take a little time and answer these six important questions. These details are critical in making a good, solid plan that will reward you with a successful, flower-filled season. Today, we’re going to do a little assessment to figure out what you’ve got to work with, what limitations you have to consider, and what your flower needs are. If you’re new to flower growing or you’ve dabbled for a little while and now you’re ready to get serious, spending a little time getting clear is an absolute must.
