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...
