Cut Flower Tips• Plant bulbs in your raised beds in the fall. They will bloom and be ready for cutting before it’s time to plant your vegetables.• Add a little sugar to the vase to feed your flowers and help them last longer.

• Your spring flower arrangements will last longer if you give daffodils their own vase. The sap in their stems can make other flowers wilt.
