Field notes ~ week thirty five
Last week was the last push before a little flower farm break this week 🌸
Finishing off the irrigation for the new beds in block 3 was the biggest job, after yet more rain it was very wet and muddy but I got it going before the warm weather this week! But walking back up to the house and looking down at all the progress feels so good ✨
I also spent a few afternoons planting out lots and lots of zinnia, cosmos, scabious, amaranth and other seeds. These will flower alongside the dahlias and make some really beautiful summer bouquets in a few short months time 💕
And lastly, in between flower deliveries I also spend a morning flipping my first winter lace crop for gladioli bulbs. I haven’t grown these for years but they are one of my favourite fun heirloom flowers 😍
This week & next week there won’t be any flowers, as I’m taking a little break after the spring planting rush and before the busy summer season. It’s always a challenge with a farm and a small business to be able to take a break as it’s never a good time, but also so important to stay inspired and fresh ✨
Hope you’re all enjoying the sunshine and spring gardens 🥰✨
