Really Good Cut Flower Kit is really good

Reviewed 17th November 2014 by Kathy Bagley

As well as wanting to grow lots of cut flowers for my niece's July wedding, I have always wanted to dedicate a piece of my garden to flowers which I can cut for the house. There were 13 packets of seeds included in the pack together with growing instructions and a plan for the 'cutting patch'. A novice at this, I really enjoyed the whole process from beginning to end - sowing, potting on, planting out, tending the patch. But what I loved most of all was picking little posies for the house: through the long summer, I always had fresh flowers to dot around in vases - a real joy to pick them and make simple arrangements. These posies adorned my niece's wedding reception: placed in little jars they looked really pretty.
Just one thing, Sarah: could we have pictures of the seedlings as they begin to grow and a little later on? My labelling left something to be desired and I want to improve that this year. Now I know what I am doing I will buy more of some flowers and fewer of others, and try some new varieties too. I have made a second cutting patch in preparation!
This is a great starter kit for anyone setting out to grow simple, beautiful cut flowers in not too large a space.
