From 2011 until about four years ago, I actually grew cut flowers on a small commercial scale. Sold to area florists, and a farmers market. It was so rewarding and I loved it, but man was it hard work! Once grandbabies started coming, I opted to trade in the time spent growing and cultivating an acre of flowers for time with the littles. I don’t regret the decision, but I do miss being surrounded by all of the beauty. My growing is now contained to these six awesome raised beds my husband made a couple years ago. We have blueberries, asparagus and strawberries in 3 of them. The other 3 are reserved for flowers. Oh and there is one big peony bed out there as well. Each bed is actually on a concrete pad because Bermuda grass. 
We have found it impossible to grow anywhere near it. So that was our solution! My interest in growing anything at all had really dwindled as my drinking increased so hopefully that passion will return soon. I have lots of seeds and bulbs on order!

What a cool job! I’ve always thought this would be so rewarding and incredibly hard to do. Do you have any flower pictures from that time you can share?
