Back to EpisodesHow Getting Away Really Helped Me, Putting Profit First & Why Annuals Are Not Working Out For Me
Description
Hello, it's Tuesday 16 June 2026.
Normal service has been resumed (no more moaning tonight!). Thanks for bearing with me as I yakked on and on about what a dreadful week I had in the last episode.
Growing cut flowers is an absolutely wild ride: equal parts fun and sheer terror, and it's a very fine line. I find it really hard to look at the 'big picture' cut flower work I'm doing when my hands are in the soil and my head is full of 'to-do' lists. Tonight I'm sharing the three revelatory things I realised in the last 48 hours because I went away for the weekend and the break really helped me to look at the bigger picture. I hope you find these insights interesting.
Here's the book I'm talking about tonight: Profit First by Mike Michalowicz

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.
