And just like that …Dahlia season is over 😳🥹…a sudden decision taken today but definitely feel the right one given the weather. A couple of bouquets for tomorrow & the rest will be dried for winter arrangements. If you’d like any let me know now. Thanks so much to everyone for your support this season 🙏🏽🤗###. Ps. Apologies for my lack of social media but it’s been so busy over the last couple of months…I’ll do a catch up on what’s been happening, lessons learned, my Dahlia heros & who’s been invaluable…no surprise and Felix at the top of the list but many thank yous to follow including & more 🙏🏽###

My first year trying to grow in a polytunnel has been challenging - a surprise as I thought it would make everything much easier …..but in a south-facing paddock with no shade it’s been so hot l’ve barely managed to grow anything at all...with one main exception 🍅…they’re thriving &absolutely delicious 😍. Thank you to my neighbour Jane for giving me the seedlings 🙏🏽
It would be great to grow more things next year too...any suggestions for what grows well in crazy heat? …and remember it’s very cold in the winter too.

Petal confetti - making it is time consuming but so relaxing. How wonderful to know these petals will be showered over a happy couple celebrating their first precious moments of marriage. Plus when the bride is as lovely as the one who visited our farm this morning then it’s absolutely worth it… & all the confetti proceeds are donated to their church ⛪️ 🙌

Why do I love Dahlias so much? Definitely lots to do with how you’d never expect so much beauty & variety to come from such unexpected & humble beginnings. This is why I’m so passionate (ok obsessed 😬) with giving each one a chance (scroll through to last two posts …& yes crazy really given how much to do here 🥴😀). & also this is so much of what is all about.

Risked planting out Ranunculus yesterday but covered it in sheep 🐑 fleece overnight to protect from cold & 🐌 & slugs 🥶😬. 🤍🐑fleece and it’s never ending uses here at Froggetts farm. Pop sound on 🔊 to hear me as can’t figure out how to put captions on posts (along with many many other things 🙄😀).

Capturing the spring flowers early this morning - just listen to the birdsong and also Skye 😼asking for her breakfast and putting me off - always an animal distraction 🙄😂

Freezing nights 🥶meant I brought lots of newly sown seeds🌱 into the house - but swapped one hazard for another 🙀. In the last two posts I’m chatting, well sort of singing 🎶 in final one 😳😱 (especially to embarrass my family ) so sound on 🔊 if you care/dare 🤣
