Sample issue

Hi there,

This issue's tip: cut, and cut again

Zinnias are the easiest cutting flower there is. Cut stems long, just above a pair of leaves, and the plant sends out more. Pick a few every couple of days and you'll have bouquets until frost.

Flower to know: daffodils

Plant them in fall, forget about them, and they come back every spring. Squirrels and deer usually leave them alone.
