It's drizzling outside, so I thought I'd get another batch of seeds sown today, China Asters and Celosia are on the menu.
I'm not the most organised person with spread sheets and all that and mainly wing it with what's going where, but I do keep a planting and sowing guide as it's helpful to look back on over the years, it's funny though because my gut tells me it's time to plant out or sown and when I check what I did last year I'm usually spot on.

My growing setup is at home close to me then I move them to the polytunnel in the field when I prick out, except the snaps this year and next as I've had downy mildew the last couple of years in the tunnel and these guys are going outside so I don't want them to pick anything up and spread it around.

Happy sowing and growing guys, and have a lovely Sunday

Spring is definitely here. Even if the wind was cold today and we're in the minus tonight, everything is waking up.
Spring is my favourite season. Every new bud I watch excited for the first flowers of the year, all the thousands of seedlings getting ready for the seasons ahead, the scent of daffs, hyacinth and wallflowers, the giant bumble bees dive bombing me, to heavy to fly, you can smell the freshness in the air
What's your favourite season ?

It's a bit bleak now, but I want to do some drone pictures over the season to show it in its full flowery glory in spring summer autumn and as seen winter.
I'm amazed at how neat it looks, still a lot to do, but every day, a bit more gets weeded or planted.

Finally, I got round to putting the low tunnel up and getting it planted, I've been panicking about all the wind we've been having, but I needed to make space in the big polytunnel.
I've planted colibri poppies, ranunculus, anemones, and butterfly ranunculus, I've also got a second sowing of stocks and ranunculus to squeeze in, I think I need another tunnel 😆 🤣 it's never ending.
After my few sad attempts over the years of securing the plastic down with baler twine and using water pipe for hoops which may I add all blew away I bit the bullet and ordered the hoops and cover from who I order all my polytunnels and accessories from, I've also looked at the ones in America who use the bungee, great idea, but they don't deliver to the UK but put a great video of how she's attached the bungee and the whole set up which is what I've done, go check it out if your thinking of getting one. It's on a very windy site, but it feels very secure. Fingers 🤞

Happy new years eve everyone. I've absolutely loved eating far too much cheese, watching movies, and lots of walks, but the field is calling me. I want to get stuck into clearing beds, and everything next year throws at me.
I want to say thank you to everyone who's been there for me in 2024 I can't wait to share 2025 with you all, so much in the pipeline but mainly it's about growing some seriously jaw dropping flowers. I've sourced some beautiful seed varieties and colours this year, I've also culled a lot of perennials that just don't give the wow factor, lots more dahlias and more beds going in, not to mention the workshop which is just a shell until we can drive into the field again.
I can't wait to meet and work with lots more brides and create some memories to last a lifetime.

I hope everyone enjoys the next couple of days with whatever you are doing, nights out, or pj's and a movie, and I will see you all in 2025

My last few table decorations were delivered today, I absolutely love creating beautiful orders for my customers, I made a matching wreath, which I delivered a couple of weeks ago to go with these.
I know I haven't used the obligatory christmas music, but in reality, I absolutely love creating too stuff like this, I've literally had a workout dancing today as well as creating.

The things I do for Christmas wreaths, heading down the woods in a transport box bouncing around foliage in my ears 😆, I wouldn't have it any other way and this is what my wreath classes are about, the freshest seasonal foliage not imported sprayed with chemicals and picked months ago this is all picked the week before from our own land, English, fresh, inseason local chemical free, handmade environmental, unfortunately so many people don't know or care where their wreath comes from but for me it's a big deal and this is one part I look forward to every year, it helps when the weather is so beautiful 😍
Thank you to the other half for putting up with my demands

I'm so excited for Christmas this year and really feeling the magic already. The first classes start next week, so I'm picking foliage and berries at every chance I get. The willow I've grown for a few years is really producing some great stems that have been used for the bases, sausage rolls are made, and the mulled wine has been tested, Mariah has been blasted out the speakers a couple of times already and I've even done a little bit of present shopping

Autumn in a nutshell, well bouquet but omg I didn't want to say goodbye to this one.

It's definitely getting colder and won't be long before we get a proper frost here in East Sussex, so I'm making the most of still being able to produce lots of gorgeous flowers.

The first 500 tulip bulbs went in today, and nearly all the dahlias are lifted.

Crazy to think in a few weeks we will all be going christmas wreath crazy, is it me or is tome going so fast, I need more hours in the day

This job is definitely not for the faint-hearted, and believe me, I can't tell with all of them 😅

What am I doing?

Selecting the singles from the double stocks, and if you didn't know, you'd think the yellow sickly ones were for the compost, but it's those lush green guys that have to go.

I love stocks and I love the singles just as much as the smell is incredible but unfortunately the singles don't last as long as a double and apart from going on my table they aren't making me money, I can't afford to plant over 100 of each variety to find 50 are singles, so this tedious task must be done.
I don't actually mind it, and not everything is sown like this. Most things are individually sown per cell, but I purposely scatter more stocks than I need because I know I'm going to discard some.
thank you, , for supplying some quality seed with hardly any singles

The process and planning to get a space I can work in without having to take my flowers home every time has not been easy. I lacked the knowledge and jargon thrown at you by the council and architects, I found there wasn't any help out there and then the cost for all of this is so out of budget it 💔 😢 broke my heart I'm talking £80.000 maybe more, I could have got a grant for a small amount if I completed the build in 2 months and employed someone full-time which I'm not in the position to do so back to the drawing board and budget friendlier options. The workshop is a bit smaller than planned, and the toilet and utility area will be added at a later date. For now, I need an area to work from and keep the flowers cool in summer. At last, we got to put a base down, crushed concrete, with a waterproof membrane, then concrete all mixed by hand to make a good, strong level base for the next part 💪 #workshop #concrete #buildingthedream #budget #flowers #youcandoit

I thought I'd save this as a reel so it doesn't disappear. I've had lots of you asking about seed sowing and it can be a mine field especially when starting out, I have lots of books and Google but really it's through trial and error and ive been growing now for 7 years. If I can make it a little easier for you to start, I'm all for it. These are just what I sowed yesterday, but there are lots of biennials and perennials that can be started by seed now. @chilternseeds has great info on their seed packs and great varieties to choose from. I also like @molesseeds @greenandgorgeousflowers @plantsofdistinctionseeds Happy sowing #sowingseeds #biennial #perennials #seeds #growyourown #flowergrower
