Happy weekend loves…we are well overdue for a catch up, life has been full! 🌸
We’ve been harvesting & designing with beautiful Spring blooms (wedding pieces & formal wearables), crop planning & planting out… we loved & are already missing the scented stock flowers (as they rely on the cool to set their blooms) & the strongest snapdragons of the season have been and gone in our climate, so we are enjoying the next flush of flowers & looking forward to some of the warm season annuals taking center stage.
Tim has been out breaking up some of our heavier clay beds with a shallow till to mix in the mulch and amendments (gypsum, cow manure from our paddocks and blood & bone). Our seeds are popping in those beds now & we’re also trialing a Spring planting of some of the cooler flowers again, hoping we don’t end up with short stems on those🤞🏻 Dahlia planting is high on the to do list (I couldn’t resist adding another 6 varieties to our collection for your bouquets), & along with a bunch of potted perennial shrubs and gerberas, with our preorder of some stunning new chrysanthemums expected over the next couple of weeks… the to-do list is very long my friends… 🗒️
Like the majority of folks we’ve been feeling the $ pinch…so growing more veg & keeping our basic food items stocked to help us ride the raising fuel prices & interest rate rises, as well as for the weeks we are buying water (bring on some regular rainfall 🙏🏻☔️) We hope that your Springtime is going well and you’re finding ways to enjoy the simple beauty in the everyday… 💐🌸🌻
Thank you so much for reading, we appreciate your kind support whether from our beautiful flower friends & retail partners Swing By, Liberty Imbil, Ross Creek Store 💕 buying our flowers each week or even just enjoying our updates & following along, much love always, Leigh & family xx 🫶🏻
