The Cutting Garden is expanded yet again for 2024, plus an additional row was added in what was formerly The Berry Rows for more daffodils, and two-thirds of the potager will be flowers this year! So exciting, and happy to be part of the “Growing Kindness Project.” After evaluating the 2023 crops, as usual some varieties have been added and some deleted for the coming season. More spring crops like anemones and more ranunculus, lots more lisianthus, which I absolutely loved growing, more zinnias, more fillers but fewer varieties of crops overall, and fewer kinds of dahlias.
