Hello and welcome to Tuesday 9 December 2025.

What a wet and windy few days! Another named storm has rolled in and everything is very wet. The plants on the plot are fine (benefit of being on a slope) but everywhere else on the field is somewhat treacherous (downside to being on a slope).

I've had a busy time since we last caught up and tonight I talk about having lunch with my best wholesale florist client and the useful things we discussed, including a heads-up on her wedding colour schemes for 2026 and my new roses (which have just arrived and I'll talk you through them too).

Otherwise it's a question of battling on, staying sane in the pre-xmas madness and trying not to fall over in the mud. My cockerel, Lion, also has a new house - more details in tonight's episode.

Please come back and join me for the next episode - you're always very welcome.

Join me on my journey through a year of growing and selling cut flowers in England. I'm giving you the low-down on what it's really like, how I'm getting started, what you do and don't need, what I do when and why, the successes and failures, and just about everything in between. All in real time. With guest appearances from my chickens every now and then.
