THE DAHLIA FIELD·SUNDAY, 15 MARCH 2020·
Two years to discover the magnificence of Dahlias, 6 months to plan, raise and irrigate beds, 2 months of purchasing start up stock (and hiding it from my husband, Z) 1 day of planting out 300 Dahlia and checking irrigation and a Summer of watching my husba

nd fall in love with Dahlia. Should I be jealous of the Dahlia’s hold over Z or grateful that the Visa bills are glossed over now? At the moment I’m happy to say thanks to the beautiful blousey girls and also grateful thanks to the multitude of people who gave their time and hearts to my little venture. We are coming to the end of our first year of growing and learning about the best way to care for the beauties that have taken up residence in our field. There was always a plan to do something with the land we bought in Clive, Hastings. Three years into living here the field is brightly lit with the happy faces of Dahlia in 6 x 14m rows. The old caravan has become a Dahlia retirement village to keep them toasty warm over Winter and it provided us with a little respite from the merciless Hawkes Bay sun over the 2020 Summer. While the flowers are absolutely a thrill to have they also provide a calming quality after a long day at work as you wander down the rows. If I can’t find Z that is where he’ll be. In a vase they are the drama queens happy to take the lead unless you can control them. But why would you? They sell themselves on a market stall and can draw the attention of people that are at least 20m away. I know this because I tried a stall this year and was told it was inviting! The plan for the 2020 Winter is to set up a website, create the branding, logo, stationary, get the pricing strategy right and a whole lot more of the tedious but necessary functions of a small business and that’s after we’ve dug up the tubers and planted a green crop for Winter. A web site is the first thing to get started and that begins this month in March. It will host a shop for tuber sales, seeds and cuttings, a vlog and blog. I do hope you will come back and see the changes and browse through the myriad of Dahlia pics. Thanks for taking the time to read about us. We hope to see you again.
