I live in southern Georgia and would love fresh flowers. What are the best to get flowers all summer and how do you get rid of bugs so they can come inside!

If you plant gladiolus bulbs once every two weeks, you can have regulat blooms all summer and into fall.
I also like dahlias and oriental
lilies.
I'm just building my cutting garden! This is such a fun thing... I'm putting in zinnia and cosmos to start with. I w ill also be putting in bulbs - especially tulip bulbs.
I love tulips on a table!
Almost forgot hydrangea!
I love using roses!
Cori, I'm with you on the tulips! When/if you buys bulbs, you can get early blooming and late blooming, and extend the tulip season! There is also a new deer resistant tulip bulb out - I put them in a clients garden last fall, and they are just getting done blooming now! They are short, but how cool that they are deer/rabbit resistant!!
Thanks for all the good ideas!
