Field update 11th October.
The re-jig is underway. It’s been slow progress over the last couple of weeks, as my time has been taken up with life admin and mum duties since the dahlias finished in mid September.
But progress is being made, lilies and other perennials tomorrow…I’ve got a fair few barrows of compost to shift to fill the raised beds…a complete energy zapper but needs must.
And then on to digging up the dahlias and the rest of the late autumn jobs before the cold weather really hits.

The roses.
A little bit of romance to brighten up a rather dull day.

September and a handful of my favourites from the field.
The roses are looking glorious and the dahlias are pretty good too.

More rose action from the field.
After weeks of watching and waiting they’re all starting to flower, not huge volumes yet but we have lift off.

Finally making some headway on the poly tunnel today.
Light smattering of rain but no wind thankfully. And the field looks to be drying out so double win.
I missed the window to get the poly up for spring crops but I’ve been determined to get it ready for my autumn flowers, namely the chrysanthemums, to extend the season.
Just the beds to make and it’ll be mums all the way - and anything else I can cram in.

Flower farming isn’t for the faint hearted.
There are so many different, uncontrollable, unanticipated variables when it comes to growing flowers on scale.
After finding the field mice and voles had demolished hundreds of anemones and ranunculus, I’ve been feeling a little apprehensive about the survival of some of the other plants that were put in before Christmas.
But I’m more than happy to report that the peonies have started to make an appearance….can’t wait to see the peony patch in bloom.
