I have always wanted a cutting garden. And on this show I finally got one. I planted so many beautiful Gerbera Daisies and Shasta Daisies, plus a Hollyhock and a Delphinium. And no cutting garden is complete without Zinnias! So I included a couple of those as well. After that I planted and talked about the most popular summer flower around - the Petunia! I had no idea there were so many different kinds. I put them in my bed as well as in my hanging baskets. With all these flowers I just had to make some plant markers, so I could remember their names and so others would know what they were called when they visit my garden. I made some very inexpensive and easy markers using stones and craft board. The craft board won't last as long as the stones do, but they are pretty for the season. Don't forget to deadhead your blooms throughout the summer. This will ensure continual blooming and make for a more pleasant garden. Whatever space you have in your yard, take some of it to plant a cutting garden. There's nothing nicer than filling your house with beautiful flowers you have grown yourself.
