Even without the rain, and under this hot July sun, the field is still full of colour and life.
The butterflies have been everywhere, bees deep in the flowers, and the rows have been generous—blooms cut for orders, for drying, and just a few for me.
It’s been a week of early starts, harvesting, deadheading, and trying to keep pace with the heat. A familiar rhythm, even if it’s been a bit relentless.
A weekend off now—apart from the watering—and hoping the cooler weather arrives. Though the promised rain seems to have quietly disappeared from the forecast.
Here’s a little of the beauty from the field this week. If you’re a florist and would like these kinds of flowers in your hands, the weekly list goes out by email. Link’s in the bio.
