Farmer-florist Gretchen O\'Neil dishes the dirt on growing cut flowers.\\xa0Gretchen is the founder of\\xa0Petals, Ink, a floral design studio, mobile flower truck, and women-run farm in Manor, Texas. She\'ll tell us about the highs and lows of the farming life -- extraordinary beauty and terrible uncertainty -- and explain how\\xa0working the land has helped this\\xa0New England native find a sense of seasonality in balmy Central Texas. Of course, she\'ll also\\xa0recommend a whole bunch of varieties\\xa0you can plant from seed right now to start your own cutting garden -- no greenhouse required!\\xa0
