Scarlets Cut Flower Patch 2022/23/24

A little update - friends and family have stolen my gardening time coupled with the heat and really dry weather I've struggled a bit.

Lack of rain has caused lots of plants to go over much quicker than they would normally. Some of the dahlias are half the height they would normally be. Regardless of this I have continued to cut flowers every morning early. During the very hot weather I obviously couldn't sell as much but people popped in and picked up from inside my outbuilding.
I've sold flowers everyday that I've been here and when the weather was too warm/wet and I couldn't put out in the wheelbarrow I posted on local FB sites and people popped in! I'm so happy with that... orders have started to trickle in with the odd large birthday bunches. I'm am struggling a bit on pricing as my small bunches outside in the wheelbarrow are a bit big .... but I've no complaints and I'm already planning next season.

Yesterday I took out the snapdragons and larkspur. Today I will plant up my biennial seedlings. Planting up with Canterbury bells, sweet honesty and sweet williams.
