Episode Details

Hello, it's Tuesday 7 July 2026.

I've been away for a week and it has been nerve-wracking leaving the flowers in the warm temperatures that the UK is still experiencing. I landed back tonight and went straight to the field to see how everything coped and I'm sharing my findings with you in this episode, including the plants doing really well/those that are doing so-so and the ones which have had a bit of a wobble.

There's an update on my water situation. I'll be spending the rest of this week re-locating water from where I have some to where I have none: it's a necessary (and time-wasting) exercise but it has to be done. This week I'm on the hunt for another IBC to transport water to the field because the plants are going to need more water than I have stored.

Some exciting news - I have a new florist coming for a tour tomorrow! I'll update you on how that goes on Friday, so please come back and join me for the next episode - you're always very welcome.
