Every year I question whether to grow calendula. Every year they remind me why I do. This one appeared without any help from me — the field is full of self-seeders, a silver lining from lifting the landscape fabric this season. Like an old friend saying hello.

Roses. There’s nothing quite like them.

The scent, the layers, that particular softness that belongs entirely to summer. Standing in front of a rose at its peak is one of those rare moments that actually makes you stop.

Silas Marner, Gabriel Oak, Wollerton Old Hall — three varieties flowering in the garden while the field ones are nearly there.

Choosing roses for cutting is a different exercise to choosing them for a garden — stem length, vase life, repeatability, how a variety behaves on an open exposed site rather than a sheltered one. I’ve spent a long time researching this and I’m still learning.

This year’s temperature swings — cold nights into scorching days — have caused bullnosing on some of the buds at the field, where the flower develops distorted and simply can’t open. Those get pinched off. The buds are there — I can see them — but the waiting is its own kind of work.

The first flush is coming.

Peony season. Heaven.

Duchess de Nemours and Sarah Bernhardt picked this morning — white and red, straight from the field.

A few bunches still available today through our WhatsApp group.

After an extraordinary few days of heat, the field has rallied and there are some genuinely lovely things ready to pick tomorrow.

The best of the season in a bucket at the end of May — delphinium and cornflower, geum, campanula, knautia, nepeta, sicilian honey garlic, alliums (including Miami, which is nearly shoulder height), a handful of peonies, tutti frutti poppies, and alchemilla mollis.

Early morning pick — delivery to Leamington or collection from the field before 10am. Message me if you’d like one.

First clematis. Last ranunculus. Possibly the last irises.

The heatwave has knocked us about — the gentle succession I’d planned to carry us into summer got caught between a late frost and then the heat, and I feel about a month behind.

The field needs some TLC. So do I.

No availability list this week. Half term, a juggle, and honestly a moment to catch up with ourselves before Friday’s heat arrives again.

Back properly next week.

A week that felt like the start of summer.

After last week’s frost there was a moment of holding your breath — and then suddenly, this. First delphiniums. The last of the ranunculus giving way to nigella. Foxgloves. Sweet peas. Peachy apricot garden roses just beginning to open.

The peonies deciding all at once that now is the time. And the Violet Beauty allium, dramatic and dependable as ever.

It’s been a pastel week — softer and quieter than I’d planned for, but honestly one of the most beautiful of the season so far.

I’m heading to the field now to water everything deeply and get the shade netting on before the heat wave arrives this weekend. The seedlings are waiting to go in next week. Then it’s time to turn my attention to the dahlias.

The Ice Saints — May 11th, 12th, 13th. Farmers have marked these dates for centuries, a warning that mid May would bring one last cold snap before summer. In the West Midlands our last frost date falls right around now. This year it’s hard to miss.

It’s cold outside. Hail, then blue sky, then hail again. I’m not at the field today — I’m at home, looking at a big bunch of spring flowers on the kitchen table that I cut last week.

A little comfort on a grey day, and a reminder that the abundance of summer isn’t far away. Even if it doesn’t quite feel like it today.

May is tricky for growers.

Malvern and Chelsea always fall in the gap between seasons — the moment florists need flowers and you’re watching the field, willing everything to time perfectly.

This year it worked. Ashley asked for cut flowers to complement her exhibit at Malvern Spring Festival and everything came at once — hesperis, geum, viburnum, ranunculus, anemones.

She took gold - well done Ashley!

If you’re visiting this weekend, make sure you don’t miss it.
