As usual here on the Flower Farm, it has been busy! We are getting as many plants in the ground as we can, as and when the beds are cleared of the thousands of Dock and Thistle.
It is hard going, but because we don't use sprays, it all has to be hand weeded. It is slowing up the planting, and I am getting slightly worried now!
Today I got a lot of the Delphiniums in, and hoping that because they are a decent size, they will not be completely decimated by the slugs and snails..we will see! Delphs are slug fodder.

But for now, the tulips that survived in pots are looking great!

Will plant lots more in the Autumn, but have to sort out my heavy clay first.

In other news, I have the honour of arrangeing the flowers in the Tipi Village, Queen Square, Bristol, for the www.eatdrinkbristolfashion  event, thanks to one of the Event Hosts, Luke Hasell, thank you Luke for the opportunity! Hope you will be pleased with the results!!!

Well , that's it for now, time for this knackered Flower Farmer to retire to bed, late, as usual, but looking forward to another day in this wonderful place, doing the things I love doing...

First Post on new Blog

First Blog Post!
Not sure how this will turn out, but will learn as I go along, I am sure!

Have recently signed up to Twitter, and also have a Face Book page for The Somerset Flower Farm, but I want a place where I can write about not only the Flower Farm, but odd bits and pieces that I am interested in, and even just daily musings ... even if no-one reads this Blog, I will have an outlet for general ramblings!
Although if the Blog is anything like keeping a Diary, which I start on the 1st of every year, and make not a single entry after that, then this may not last long either!
