There’s a big storm forecast for this evening so I’ve been out cutting blossom for tomorrow’s flower buckets in case it all blows away in the night!!
Category: Bunch of Flowers
For Mother’s Day last weekend, here in East Sussex, we picked tulips, scented narcissi, flowering currant, tonnes of anemones, rosemary, plum blossom, hornbeam and other foraged foliage. They all went into our mixed buckets for local delivery or were made into bouquets and jam jar posies for collection and local shops.
We pick flowers constantly from April to October so if you’d like some just contact us.
Just a small selection of what we’re picking….good to be back into those early starts again (as you know, flower farmers don’r get up in the winter as there’s nothing to do).
Another one of the Dahlias we’ve grown for the first time this year and again certain to grow again. Not only are they lovely big flowers but also they seem to be pretty prolific.
This is one we’ve not grown before but I’m pretty sure we’ll be growing more of in future!
…arresting flowers, their velvety sheen is doing me in. Etc, etc.
We like to have something in the centre of our display at Farmer’s Markets and lately sunflowers in this vase seem to have been the order of the day. A stallholder who sells cards remarked that they’d make a good greetings card. We’re not quite at that yet but when we got them home I did a quick shot against an old door. So there you have it.
….and shaking my confidence daily.
Firey!
If only there was an aroma-rama plugin…these smell absolutely amazing!
Bouquets don’t have to be big, this is a smaller posy I tied earlier this morning from flowers picked yesterday and conditioned overnight.
