It’s that time of year when, tired of the gloomy weather, we like to bring a few stems into our office and ‘force’ them to bloom. It’s not as harsh as it sounds — just the term that’s used for bringing on flowers or edible plants (rhubarb perhaps being the best known) sooner than if they were left to their own devices. Our Norwegian grandma was a big inspiration who, to counteract the short and dark winter days, would bring blossom branches into the house. This week we are going to be supplying the with a selection of interesting stems including our pink p***y willow and forsythia. Pair them with scented Cornish narcissi and you’re in for a treat: flowers, scent and interest… Us BG staff will be grabbing a bunch or two ourselves to stave off the winter blues…

Dahlias! What to do in winter?!
We are packing our dahlias away for the winter. We dig up our dahlias after they’ve been in the ground for two years. We dry them out, upside down, for a couple of weeks in the poly tunnel. Now, we are going through them cutting off any rotten bits and packing them in crates lined with newspaper, and surrounding them with chopped horse bedding. We have found this
works really well to keep them in good condition through the winter. They will be prepared for planting next spring.
How do you prepare your dahlias for the winter?

A couple of weeks ago on the Blooming Green team came for a day to It was a case of many hands make light work. We planted up a new bed of herbaceous perennials, and removed old mypex from a bed of roses so we can mulch our Sensational Fantasy with compost and try a new system of w**d control.
Blooming Green and the Patch CIC will be working in partnership to grow flowers and this was a chance for the whole Blooming Green team to come and see what has been going on at West Pike Fish Farm for the last year. Catharine explained the Patch’s Vision to create work experience opportunities in horticulture for people with learning disabilities and Autism. If you want to know more about the work of The Patch you can follow them on instagram

A wreath as big as your head and bigger! I had so much fun making this today, grabbing ingredients from a huge stash of dried stems en route to our drying room. These included: eucalyptus, bracken, saponaria pods, nigella seed pods, hops, limonium and flax ‘bobbles’. Sometimes it’s nice to make something just for the hell of it… though I think it’s doing an important job now, making the front of look even prettier 🙂

We have taken the plunge to plant a row of eucalyptus on our foliage plot. Thanks go to .hilary for the healthy plants, inspiration and support over the phone and email. Hilary has written wonderful new book on how to grow eucalyptus in the UK.
We have planted several different varieties to be cut at different times of the year. We augered 60cm deep holes & backfilled them with soil and composted woodchip. This is to encourage the baby trees to root deep in the ground. It’s these deep roots that help eucalyptus trees get through cold winters. We mulched the trees with sheep fleece from a local farmer and then mypex, to kill off the grass as eucalyptus don’t like any competition.
Bek has got a year to work out what to put down instead of grass once the Mypex comes up.
So fingers crossed for a mild winter to get these off to a flying start!
