It is a truth universally acknowledged, that your order of winter planting shrubs and perennials will arrive at the most inconvenient time. So, whilst I was harvesting beautiful foliage for my first wreath workshop, I was also preparing new rows for dozens of plants which will be future wreaths and much more! At least it was beautifully sunny, and the warmer nights towards the end of this week make it perfect for plants to go into the ground.

My customers are a loyal bunch, and/or I think my flowers might be addictive. If you would like to fill your 2026 with flowers, my subscriptions run from April to September, and you can order monthly or fortnightly bunches or jam jar posies. Delivery is available within 5 miles of Colchester, and in Ardleigh, Great Bromley and Elmstead Market. The shop opens in my newsletter this weekend (go to my website to sign up in the little pop-up), or I’ll link in stories next week.

The tulips are in! This job always marks a real turning point from autumn to winter on the flower field, because I don’t do it until the weather turns colder. Although I’m scaling up my production next year, I’ve planted less than 2000 tulips because the price of bulbs at the moment means the risk of losing or not selling any is bonkers. But don’t worry, there will be plenty for my beautiful subscription bunches (pssst subscriptions for 2026 go on sale very soon!), gift bouquets and lots of other Spring treats besides.

The very last of the dahlias and lots of my special chrysanths went into these funeral tributes. We’re into the time of year when it always seems too dark to photograph the flowers, so here they are in their boxes ready for delivery. I make these sheaves with a compostable water source to keep them fresh.

Although my flower season is nearly over, I continue to offer funeral tributes made with British flowers and foliage through the winter.

It’s nearly the end of my chrysanthemum season, just a few more bunches available before it’s time to put the plants into hibernation - if you would like some, let me know quick! I wish I could hibernate too, but the next job is to dig the tulip trenches.

I had a wonderful morning creating with some jugs and tumblers, the rich colours of the chrysanths look so good against the colours of the enamelware.

As the rain hammered down today, I was glad to be inside planning next year’s subscription flowers. As usual, there will be monthly or fortnightly bunches flying out across the Colchester area, and my sweet jam jar posies available too, from April to September. A whole season of flowers fresh from the field, a fantastic Christmas gift or the ultimate treat for yourself. Slots are limited, my newsletter subscribers get first dibs when I email later this week - go to my website and a pop-up with prompt you to subscribe.

She’s everybody’s favourite and today she’s going out-out. The first batch of ranunculus went into the ground, into lovingly prepared soil - nothing but the best for these princesses. I’m tripling my ranunculus for 2026 because my customers adore them, and so do I. Did you know that ranunculus is ‘little frog’ in Latin?

Here are my chrysanths getting into the Halloween spirit, although the real fright is how badly my polytunnel needs a clean. Tomorrow is a big day in my house so I’ll say Happy Halloween now before it all kicks off. Boo etc.
