This is one of the reasons we leave patches of nettles growing around the place. These are the caterpillars of the peacock butterfly which lays its eggs in the nettles. And next month there’ll be hundreds of these and other butterflies all jostling for position. #grownnotflown

Just to say ‘Hello’ to all of our new follower

Just to say ‘Hello’ to all of our new followers! I'm Zoe, and with my husband Nic, nichamilton66 (who’s behind the camera) run a cut flower farm in East Sussex. I haven't posted a picture of me recently – this one was taken a few weeks ago when the Viburnum Opulus was in full flower, whereas this week its all peonies, foxgloves and sweet peas. Although no two years are the same in flower farming, this year is already extraordinary – the weather has been very trying and operating a business during this pandemic has caused us a few sleepless nights. Local support though, has been amazing, so thank you all. We are still planting, picking and delivering. Stay safe. #britishflowers #supportlocalbusiness #lockdownflowers #flowersofinstagram

This was the only bouquet I managed to photograph

This was the only bouquet I managed to photograph this week. It’s been nonstop - so many flowers to pick and orders to deliver that I forget to capture them. Next week we’ll have lupins, foxgloves, hesperis and geums and sweet peas.
Soon have peonies as well #grownnotflown
