Hi Andy!
I ditto the ASCFG membership. Also Lynn's book is a
must and if you can go see her speak anywhere that would be good also. She
is very helpful. I have been growing cut flowers for the market since 1989
. I have grown in 2 different zones and states The one thing I will
say is it "Ain't easy' like some think. Lots of hard work just like
veggies as I have grown them also.
Doooooooo charge enough for your work as alot of
flower growers seem to not do that. If your flowers are top notch you will
get the money. Also ditto on presentation. We have a stand made out
of old barn boards with holes cut in it. I use bright red cups for the
flowers. People know my bouquets at the market now because of that.
So do something to catch their eye.
I do some succession but not alot. I just
plant for the season too and then harvest. I do succession sunflowers as
the public still has a love affair with them.
Hope it works for you
Sue zone 5
