  • Spring Green
So tall, so fleeting. It's odd growing tulips for cut flowers. A glimmer of colour and they're gone.

  • First pick this morning. Difficult to keep on top of them, they're all opening at once. Early, middle, late?  No, now!

  • Morning! What a lovely weekend on the farm, we planted thousands of seedlings, all the foxgloves, larkspur, godetia, salvias, antirrhinums, helichrysum, statice, rudbeckias, eryngium and so many more. The tulips are looking fantastic and our first customers have been lovely. 
One kind friend brought us boxes of dahlias and one delightful old chap, having read my article in the @sherborne_times, drove all the way across the county to deliver enough alstroemerias to fill an 8 metre bed. 
Definitely getting the #BlackShed  buzz! 
This tulip is Apricot Dream.

Had a lot of misnamed varieties this year but this one's right. One of my favourites. Amongst many!

  • Happy Birthday to this crazy, brilliant queen of the tulips. Nine years old and a fine gardener. Amongst rather a lot of other things. Of course having @helenstickland as your Mum must have some bearing on all this xx
