Hello, it's Tuesday 14 April 2026.
I've had a busy weekend trying to divide my time between the field and the greenhouse, so there's lots to tell you tonight including news about mulching, weeding, transplanting, and staking. I've also just started sowing my half hardy annuals too, plus all my veg seeds, and I'll tell you why I'm using more vermiculite this year.
In other news I've given the website a revamp thanks to chatGPT. I use it regularly with all aspects of my life and I find it particularly helpful with work stuff, although it has just started being quite argumentative with me recently, and I'm not sure how that's even possible...
The boys have some new nail shields to stop them damaging their girls and they look hilarious. Don't worry, it's quite safe and, fingers crossed, it will do the job.
I hope you enjoy the episode: please come back and join me for the next one - you're always very welcome.

Join me on my journey through a year of growing and selling cut flowers in England. I'm giving you the low-down on what it's really like, how I'm getting started, what you do and don't need, what I do when and why, the successes and failures, and just about everything in between. All in real time. With guest appearances from my chickens every now and then.
