Just a little celebration of some of the dahlias blooming on my little Devon flower field today. πŸ’š

It has been a bit of a battle this year to get them going and I think I'll have nightmares about trying to keep them watered this summer for a while to come but... totally worth it!

Which one is your favorite?

Every growing year has brought its challenges but this year takes the biscuit! I'm certainly not ready to give up yet, but I do have to make some changes. I'm learning a lot at the moment, and my head is buzzing with ideas. I just need to collect them together, and then I'll start sharing them with you.

But the obvious things on the list of things to do are;

1. Improve the soil's ability to hold water by adding organic matter.
2. Grow plants that are drought tolerant (but can cope with wet winters 😬).
3. Add more areas of shade in my full sun field.
4. Look at the way I manage water on-site.

What are you growing that is coping with the hot, dry weather?

A few photos from the flower farm this week. It's been a week of early starts and late evenings trying to beat the heat. To be honest I think the heat has beaten me.

Not everything will make it, some things are thriving, more lessons to learn.

And next week? Still hot, maybe some much needed rain on Monday, let's keep our fingers crossed. πŸ’š

Fresh flowers you can dry at home so you get to enjoy them twice!

These posies include statice, achillea, billy buttons and strawflowers all of which will dry beautifully, keeping their shape and colour. Simply enjoy them fresh in a vase for a few days and while they're still looking fresh as a daisy, hang them upside down, out of direct sunlight, until they feel papery, them you can enjoy them all over again!

Here's what's calling me at the flower farm today...

I've been mentally making bouquets with these this morning as I was getting the watering done, I can't wait to get back up the farm this evening to cut them!

Who wants to see the bouquet I make with them?
