Dahlia flower grower available August-October. Local, seasonal, plastic & pesticide free. DM to order

12/04/2024

Thank you to everyone who bought tubers this week & to everyone else waiting to see what stocks are left after the initial sale 🥰

So lovely to see soo many supporting local, and keeping delivery miles extremely low 🥰

Now it’s time to pot them up, keep them warm, and see them start to grow. Don’t be alarmed if you don’t notice anything for a couple of weeks, dahlias start growing when the temperatures reach 15oc.

Also don’t forget, you don’t want to be over watering your dahlias at this stage. Enjoy 🥰

Happy National Puppy Day ❤️

Please be assured, every bloom grown in the flower patch gets quality checked by my four legged little helper 🥰

23/03/2024

It’s about time to wake up my tubers, and get them potted up in the greenhouse.

Over wintering them in a mix of shavings and our own sheep’s wool seems to have kept them very happy.

I may have some tubers for sale, and will know more next week. Keep your eyes peeled on this page, and I’ll keep you posted with which varieties are available. 🥰

20/03/2024

Compost has been ordered, the start of the 2024 dahlia season is about to begin 🥰.

I’ve also ordered soil improver for Clay Soil, as dahlias HATE soil which isn’t free draining, and I HATE clay stuck between my tubers when storing them for winter. Let’s hope this helps keep us both happy and we see an improvement 🤞.

15/03/2024

Wakey wakey little dahlias! I see you beginning to rise and shine 👀

Swipe to see the first sign of our 2024 season ——>

I am soo excited to see the first signs of life in the tubers after a winter in storage. Also very happy to see they seem to have survived the trials and tribulations of being stored 🙌 phew. What with trying to keep them above freezing, but not too warm & not wet to avoid rotting, but not too dry so they dry out 🙈.

Time to give them a thorough once over and check they all healthy and happy ready for our 2nd season.

Who wants to see more behind the scenes as wake these dahlias up ready for the flower patch?

Thanking my earlier self for digging up and storing the Dahlia tubers over winter. 🙏💪

Not only do Dahlia’s hate the cold, but they also rot if they sit in soil which is too wet. Currently the flower patch is flooded and freezing! A dahlia tubers nightmare combination!

So I’m posting this as a reminder to my future self for next autumn, to show that although digging up and storing each tuber is a chore, they’re much better off snuggled up safely in their winter storage.

1 broken fork, 2 snapped Secateurs, 10 dirty finger nails and MANY happy dahlias dug, the tubers are nearly finished drying and being packed away for winter.

As a lovely moment of beauty within the muddy mess that is dahlia lifting, Mother Nature graced the patch with the most beautiful rainbow 🌈

24/10/2023

Far less pretty than normal, but the digging up of the dahlias has started 🙌 bring on a back breaking week

12/10/2023

The final bouquets are going out prior to the frost due this weekend!

I have thoroughly LOVED sharing my locally grown seasonal blooms with you all! And can't wait to see what 2024's Dahlia season will bring ❤️

11/10/2023

The Flower Patch is now Closed!

Wow what a crazy first season, and I can't thank everyone enough for all the love and support!

I'm winding the last week of the season down with the final few orders, ready for the frost to arrive this weekend. ❄️

Looks like next week's job will be digging up tubers!

01/10/2023

Happy 1st October, bring on the spooky misty mornings, catching cobwebs covered in Dew.

Flowers are still available, and will be until the weather finally decides to turn. So message me to order, before the season ends.

Last Friday Flowers of the season!

Enjoy coffee, cake and bacon butties with a fresh local bunch of flowers for the last time this season. 🥰

21/09/2023

Hurricane Nigel has definitely left it's mark on the flower patch, and it most definitely does not look like this after this week!

The dahlias will bounce back, but unfortunately a lot of the flowers which were ready for picking today have been damaged in the wind.

Therefore I am prioritising bouquets which have already been pre ordered.

Unfortunatly this means there will be no flowers available at tomorrow morning. Fingers crossed there will be more ready for Saturday's stand, but I'll keep you posted.
