Not having beautiful windows with soft light, I have to go outside looking for a good photograph.

Here is one of my special Chrysanthemums in a special vase by . The vase was a gift from a friend.

Plant a few bulbs. Your future self will thank you.

My garden is usually too full (of weeds) at this time of year, so I plant bulbs in pots ready to add in where there is a space.

Allium spaerocephalon

A posy pad from a few weeks ago. Completely plastic free and compostable.

I'm missing all these flowers already, what's left is very soggy!

Dahlias live to bloom another day. We had low temperatures but not a killing frost.
I'm pleased as Cafe au Lait only started a few weeks ago. She has not enjoyed the rain ☔
Also 'Barbie', I don't know it's real name.

Can you believe it's October?
The rain and wind has destroyed plenty here but I managed to cut enough for a funeral spray today.
Plenty of colour and a garden gathered look.
Not many more flowers to come this year. It's time to cut down, cover and start again for next year.

Things are definitely slowing down and beginning to look Autumnal. There are still treasures to be found, though, if you know where to look and a few more bouquets to be created.

My lovely girls would like to thank and congratulate the who have just rehomed their one millionth hen! A-maz-ing.
And she has gone to a very special home. Check out their posts to see just where.
We've had our latest rescue hens for nearly a year now and they all lay almost every day! It's a happy retirement for them.

A gift posy for when you want a little something for someone. 🩷

All the pinks in one of this week's bouquets. Plus some fragrance from the delightful Acidanthera.

I think we are at peak summer flower production and bouquets are big and blousy.
I deliver these in my local area and it's always fun to surprise someone with flowers.

Sweet peas have loved this cool damp weather.

Flowers for drying
Would you like to dry your own flowers? I now have bunches available at £15.
All you need to do is hang them upside down somewhere dry and out of direct sunshine.
They will dry slowly and then you can use them as you wish. Make your own arrangement or just leave them as a decorative bunch.
They will contain a mixture of flowers, grasses and seeds heads, though may vary from the ones shown.

Maybe my favourite, maybe not.
It's good to have the Dahlias back to star in bouquets or pop into buckets of flowers.
If you are doing your own party or event flowers, think of using
Buckets of flowers and foliage to arrange yourself. Find more details on my website 🌼

Good deed for the day... I found this Queen Buff Tailed Bumblebee (?) on the hard paving. She waved her leg at me meaning 'back off you're too close' but never being one to leave well alone, I gently moved her to this pot of hyacinths. Safer and more tasty. She was grateful and spent at least half an hour sipping from the flowers. Queen bumblebees hibernate over winter emerging in early spring to nest and lay eggs. I hope she'll feel welcome and find a good place to nest close by. Early flowers are so important for bees. Find out more @bumblebeeconservationtrust

It's not raining, it's not frozen and it's not blowing a gale. #littlewins We're just doing a bit of weeding and pest control.

And more... I'm planning lots more poppies next year 💜

I'm pleased to say I've seen lots of hoverflies in the last few days. Also bees and moths plus a few ladybird larvae. I hope the hoverflies are enjoying the huge number of aphids! I've heard many people say ' where are the insects this year?' I hope what I'm doing here is paying off. -Growing a diverse range of plants. -Allowing wild areas. -No spraying.

Do you buy your self flowers (see what I did there)? Here are some of my bouquets from last year. Consider buying locally grown flowers and contribute to the eco system, local economy and reduce transport miles. Bunches are from £10 available for collection and bouquets are from £30 for collection or local delivery. I hope to be able to supply bunches from April. Watch this space for progress!

As the days get longer, it's tempting to start sowing seeds but we need to sit on our hands a couple of weeks longer. It's still too cold and dark for seedlings to thrive. I've got plenty of packets ready to go so perhaps I'll make a planting plan instead.

You never know when it will be the end for the dahlias. I cut these on Friday, expecting a frost but instead we got torrential rain and gales which certainly didn't do them any good. Anyway I got to enjoy these over a dreary weekend and the poor plants survive.

One of a kind. I promise it's not dyed Gill @fieldhouseflowers 😆 Any suggestions about what this chrysanthemum was thinking?

Every bouquet is different even though I often think I'm cutting the same colours. There are still treasures around if you know where to look.

Just a few more Straw Flowers in their cheerful, bright colours. Hang to dry and they keep their colour beautifully.

Bee friendly. Scabiosa ochroleuca is covered in dozens of bees and hover flies. There is a real hum. This plant is a hit and easy to propogate from seed once you have one plant.

Our story

Since 2018 I have had the chance to grow beautiful flowers and share them with people. Starting with some seeds and a patch of mud, I now have a beautiful cutting garden with something new happening every day. It buzzes with life, most of it friendly, as the insects enjoy my flowers as much as I do.
