It’s a constant battle! Flower farming currently - dealing with very challenging weather and then seemingly everything living outside trying to make it even harder. I’ve got a mouse in the tunnel (actually saw him happily eating something the other day), birds constantly in there poking at the ground (but I can tolerate this), some tiny black insect munching my Dahlia petals (no idea what it is but do not want to spray anything), and now these pointless (not v pleasant) creatures having a party in the flower beds at night (Badgers).
It’s lucky there are some good insects out there and I have to remember that; like my amazing army of ladybirds earlier this year that saved so many of my plants from aphids and other small bugs.
With the pleasure I get from growing plants/flower farming I am also well aware that there are so many barriers and challenges that come with it; I wonder how long ill be able to keep my head up. I think more poly tunnels is the answer .. but; note to self … SHUT THE DOORS ! 😵💫🙄😢
