Life on the farm so far this month...
1🌼 This is the face of someone who was delighted to finally see some rain! 😂🌧️🙏🏻
2 🌼 What a show off! Isn't she a beaut of a dahlia. She also seems to be less appetising to the bugs than some of the other varieties, so we like her even more!
3 🌼 We were delighted to find this little visitor last month - it's an elephant hawk moth caterpillar.
4 🌼 Harvesting has continued throughout August, albeit in smaller volumes than we'd normally get (thanks to the weather!)
5 🌼 We're trying to collect more of our own seed this year. If this is something you're interested in you might want to check out my article for The Flower Farmer Magazine!
6 🌼The field is full of bumblebees, and we love it 🥰
7 🌼 Spot the flower farmers! It becomes harder to find each other when the plants are taller than us!
8 🌼 We've been busy harvesting flowers for drying whilst the sun shines. These strawflowers will come in really useful for wreaths, bouquets and other lovely things in the autumn and winter.
