Cut flowers have been too much work for too little money for me. I am going back to tomatoes next year.

It was worth a try. Flowers sell very well here. Very high prices too.
What else are you thinking of growing for next year? Would specialty crops - the aji pepper line, garlic, butterhead lettuces, etc bring in a better return in your area?
