Fresh Cut Flowers from Your Garden
Go out and enjoy your garden… then cut some flowers and enjoy your garden inside, too! You should cut when the flower is full of water and plump. Another thing to keep in mind — while most people will grab the full, open-bloomed flowers, you should reach for those that are barely starting to open. Those blooms will last a lot longer. When you cut the plant, it’s important to do it at an angle, and make sure you sink this into a bucket of water right away. Otherwise, a gooey substance will seal the stem, preventing water from absorbing into the flower.
