I think she’s serious. She wants to grow flowers to cut for arrangements - she has subscriptions for this year already. To have the space for flowers, she needs to restrict the veggies to several raised beds. She had great flowers & veggies last year. Her oldest boy, who will be 4 in May, loves veggie gardening. He’s the one I got the ‘Roots, Shoots, Buckets & Boots’ book as a Christmas present 2 years ago - he loves it. One of my favorite pictures ... he’s holding a giant carrot just pulled out of the garden. :-)
I’m growing more flowers this season, too. I’ve been so busy stockpiling ‘food’ that I’ve gotten out of the habit of also growing, ‘food for the soul.’
That ends this season. :)
