Last year I ‘talked’ about Xero’s “Know your numbers” programme.

This year, I participated!!

Thanks to this free programme I was matched with my Small Business Mentor, Trudi Ballantyne at Stem Rural Accountants and for the last few months we have been working towards building my confidence in my financial processes and systems. A few life lessons along the way too!

If you’re a small business owner and want some helpful resources and support on the financial side of your business then have a read of the Xero mentoring Case Study in my stories or take a look at the Xero ‘Know your numbers’ site - I’ve popped a link in my bio ☝🏻

There are poppies and then there are COLIBRI POPPIES.

The frills!
The drama!
The scale!

Compared to the Icelandic Poppies these are triffids - long solid stems and enormous buds and heads.

I’m in love! 😍

It has been an unusually foggy and frosty July here on the farmlet.
We don’t often get frosts, but this last month we’ve had more than one! 😳🥴

Thankfully though, we’re starting to see some new signs of life and colour, so there is hope in amongst the nipply patches!!

All of the hardy annuals are planted and tucked away snugly undercover and the earlybird spring flowers like the poppies and daffodils are throwing out some much-needed bright spots of colour. And most exciting of all, the tulips’ leaves are starting to break ground now and are signalling that they’re ready to get cracking - whoooooop!!!

Let’s goooooo AUGUST!!!!

My first time growing Colibri poppies - swoonworthy for sure!
And a wonderful heads-up that Spring flowers aren’t too far off 🥰✨

They could be early.
They could be slow.
They could be very tenacious.
Or maybe, they’re just confused?

Gathering an armful of winter waifs and strays around the farmlet made for an unusual mix today - roses, Icelandic Poppies, Linseed and a few Achillea too.

Strange bedfellows together but I’m grateful for the small pop of vibrant colour in amongst all of the overwintering seedlings.

I could have cut down this bay of last season’s blooms with my snips or even loppers, but where would the fun be in that?

The electric hedge-trimmer made short work of this job, but it was sooooo MUCH more satisfying(and quicker!)!

Now to lift out the plants and get the bed ready for the next hardy annuals crop to go in ☺️

People don’t talk about it a lot here, but spraying is an integral part of the flower growing process.

Whether you’re fertilising for growth or spraying against pests or disease, it is the most efficient regular way to support your plants towards producing lots of lush blooms.

I try my best to stick with organic and natural options as I’m not a fan of nasty chemicals or poisons. Being vigilant and consistent with your crop checks and spraying programme is the best bet to avoid having to resort to using the nasties.

I love my little cart sprayer that is battery powered. It’s nice and light, quiet and easy to move around my cosy farmlet.

Not a bad job to have on the to-do list on a crisp winter’s day! ☺️

We did it! So much easier when it’s two people taking in this job. The tulip bulbs have been planted and we’re gearing up for another big Spring season with a stunning flush of gorgeous blooms.

They’ll be a welcome relief, introducing a wide range of colours, frills and shapes and sizes after another typically wet and grey Auckland winter.

Can’t wait to see them! 🌷💗
