An old-fashioned cutting garden was often no more than a corner of the garden where a few flower seeds were tossed. In mild climates, sow seed during cooler months, generally October through March. In cool climates plant in the spring, 1 to 2 weeks before the last average frost date. Soil must be kept moist while the seeds are germinating and beginning to grow. The Grandmother's Cut Flower Garden Mix is a charming, old-fashioned blend of flowers your grandmother might have grown. Be sure to keep the weeds pulled so they do not compete with the flowers for water and sun. This cut flower mix has 23 different flowers to enliven any bouquet. Twenty-three varieties of annuals, biennials and perennials will provide flowers for cutting from spring through first frost. ... additional info

 

Mizuna Mustard Mizuna prefers light, moist, loamy soils with lots of organic matter. You can harvest a few leaves from each plant anytime after germination. In mild climates, plant in the late fall for winter harvest. It is a common mixture in Mesclun salads and it is also steamed and stir-fried. The Mustard Mizuna Siu Cai, Xiu Cai, 'Brassica rapa', is the perfect mustard green with its mild, sweet, earthy, mustardy flavor that tolerates cold and heat. Commonly used as a graceful bedding plant that "floats" in the flower beds and as a sweet, mild mustard green that is ready to harvest in 3 weeks. Mizuna looks are deceptive; it is a beautiful graceful prolific branching plant that will also germinate under cold and wet spring conditions. It is so attractive that it is used as an ornamental.
