Growing here in this little patch is so different to when we were in Middleton - even though it’s not very far away. Here we get very early season and then late season frosts which Daliahs don’t like, it’s been a bit of a learning curve.
Lucky there are a few other local farms who might get a few weeks of late season blooms still, fingers crossed theirs last a little longer yet - because Daliahs are kind of wonderful 💜

The seasons definitely shifting here, our Dahlia’s, Cosmos & even the Tomatoes are all starting to slow down. We’ve harvested plenty for tomorrow, but I’m thinking this may be their last big burst for the season - so we will have plenty of beautiful late season blooms for the in the morning.

Although this week, and maybe, hopefully next will probably be your last chance to grab Daliahs from our little patch.

+ These two, the cutest tomato picking team. The kid likes picking them, but doesn’t like eating them. And then there is Norbs who thinks Tomatoes, and Radishes are some kind of spectacular doggy treat, so they make a good harvesting team.

Anyway would love to see you if you’re free in the morning - pop down and say hi 💜

Autumn, flowers, bees, flowers, mud, mice seekers and POTATOES. Took me all of Summer to grow those beauties, yup quite the bounty as you can see.
Also, do mice eat potatoes underground?
Anyway… flowers 🌸

Market mornings 🌸

27/03/2026

Today was a good day, after a mostly not so good week.
Anyone else finding it hard to not want to escape this current reality we seem to be sinking towards? My nervous system apparently decided it’s all too much so shingles and very wobbly joins kept things interesting here.

But today made my heart happy - I went to visit friends who also grow way too many flowers and Grandma came along for a drive. I accidentally bought a couple of massively marked down trees (will find a spot for them later - hopefully). I hung out at home with Sharn, Norbs & Rosa and spent hours picking more flowers to bring to the in the morning.

Which reminds me - I now have way too many flowers for tomorrow, so if you need a bit of a pick me up, do something nice for you and come grab a bunch of locally grown spray free flowers. And will be supporting 3 local flower farms so that’s kinda epic too 🌸

Flowers = Dopamine + Feelings of JOY + YES it’s ok to buy yourself a bunch, yes it’s true - buying plants, flowers or seeds doesn’t count. And anyway you can eat Daliahs so they are food.
So, FLOWERS are bundles of wonderful goodness, they are HAPPINESS + they remind us of magic for a most beautiful moment.

Anyway obviously flowers + me = selfie opportunity. Unfortunately I think there is a need to up my selfie game but you’re welcome 😂

Also come see me at the markets tomorrow, or feel free to let me know if you’d like a bunch put aside on the stand 💜🌸

Yay for flowers & thanks so much for the chats and extras blooms too x
