Hi Mark

You should get a hold of back issues of Growing for Market. Pam and
Frank Arnosky (Texas Specialty Cut Flowers in Blanco)have a monthly
column on cut flowers. They grow in the Texas Hill Country and I'm sure
they're columns will help you out quite a bit. We visited their farm a
couple of years ago and were quite impressed. GFM also has out together
a compilation of their articles into a book. Also, Lynn Byczynski
(editor of GFM) has a great book - The Flower Farmer - which is a must
read for beginning cut flower growers - she grows in Kansas. Acre per
acre you will make more $ on cut flowers and also spend the most labor
of any of your crops. After 8 years we are finally getting the hang of
it. Best of Luck!

I'm wondering if anyone here grows cut flowers? Have never done it
before,
but thought it might be worth a try. If there are flower growers here,
any
suggestions for a beginner to try here in dry west Texas?

Thanks
Mark (West Texas Zone 7b)
