Back to EpisodesAll The News From The Plot & Greenhouse (It's All Go), Tulip Wipeout & Are Flowers Really A Luxury Item?
Description
Hello, it's Tuesday 17 March 2026.
Lots to tell you tonight. Everything is growing away nicely and I've been busy weeding and prepping the beds. I share everything else that's going on including the jobs on the field I have coming up. The greenhouse is also rapidly filling up with seeds and tonight I'll talk you through how I've been sowing differently this week.
The tulip disaster continues and needless to say, I won't be growing them in crates ever again. Even the rats are turning their noses up at the remains of my tulips bulbs. They have been an expensive mistake and a steep learning curve. Finally I discuss whether or not I think cut flower are a luxury item.
I hope you enjoy this episode and that you'll come back and join me for the next one - you're always very welcome.
