Hello and welcome to Tuesday 3 March 2026.

It's March! At last! Spring is finally here.

Tonight's episode is a real reflection on how I'm feeling about beginning year 2 of my cut flower enterprise and it's really not what I thought it would be like. So I'm talking about my current mood and all the thoughts I'm having about the plot, including not having enough greenhouse space, not enough bed space, why I haven't even started my seeds yet and all the support I really could do with at the moment.

It's quite daunting starting year 2: I thought I'd feel so much more confident because I now have a year of experience under my belt but the opposite is true. Now I know so much more about what I should (or shouldn't) be doing and I either need an extra day in the week and/or a whole team of staff. If you've ever felt like the wheels are coming off the bus, this episode might resonate with you.

Please come back and join me for the next episode - you're always very welcome.
