Great info! I had to laugh I got seed starting supplies last year for Christmas and 2000 feet of irrigation for this past Christmas! Definitely doesn't hurt to ask for strange Christmas gifts!
What is the best soil to have for better flower quality as cut flowers with long stems.

Hi Maria, The soil isn’t as important to grow tall stems as picking the correct variety that will produce long stems. Any soil that drains after a rain, but holds moisture will work. Be sure to pick varieties that are listed as taller, cut flower varieties.
can you send me the handout for succession planting?
