Flower farming


The beginnings of my flower farm.

This year we put in 300 seeds of 
Zinnias.  I purchased most of my
seeds through Johnny Seeds.

Learning to deal with 
drought issues here, is something
I must get accustomed to. There
were times I thought the flowers
were going to die. Due to the lack
of moisture in the summer months.



The one good thing that came from
my first year in growing flowers
is collecting seeds.
So, before the rain came last week
I cut off every flower head that I could
find. Then, when my intern came we
worked on getting the seeds put in
envelopes.





I have to say most of my inspiration has come
from this book.
