I live in a mini dorm near San Diego State University. College is expensive and money is tight so buying fresh flowers for inside is out of the question. But I have a big yard and the landlord said I could plant anything I wanted. Can anyone suggest some easy, fast growing flowers I can cut into vases for the holidays? Thanks! What flowers can I plant now that will bloom for the holidays?

and toss in some baby's breath for filler.
