There are SO many toxic, scented, lab made disgusting, detergents and dryer sheets spewing out of people's dryer vents. I wouldn't dare grow anything in all that pollution! it's horrific how people are brainwashed by these evil manufacturers making these poisons., that ruin it for everyone not using this garbage😭Please wake up🙏☣️🤢🌎🌱

Im a small flower farmer and its hard to find flower farmer’s who get hot temps in the summer months to share experiences. Im a newbie, 3rd year growing, still learning and experimenting. I live in South western Utah, right on the border with Arizona and Nevada. If you drew a line from Fresno, straight east to utah, you would hit where I live.

I find that I can grow some beautiful blooms but the daily rainfall makes mildew inevitable and the plants look like trash. Additionally, the heavy rain makes staking a challenge.
