Welcome. It's Friday 2 January 2026.

Tonight I'm talking about the new year resolution I've made to improve my time management and fingers crossed I can do better in 2026. I really must stop running around like a mad thing.

I'm also answering three brilliant questions from listeners in this episode that I've received in the last couple of days and I hope you enjoy the answers. The first one is about my rose planting technique (and how this differs from how I would plant roses in a garden); the second is about the interplanting of my bearded iris amongst the peonies and how to ensure that the rhizomes get enough sunshine; and the third is about how I'm succession sowing this year. Do please keep your questions coming: I'm not an expert but I'm always happy to share how I'm doing things and (sometimes) I do know what I'm doing.

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

Join me on my journey through a year of growing and selling cut flowers in England. I'm giving you the low-down on what it's really like, how I'm getting started, what you do and don't need, what I do when and why, the successes and failures, and just about everything in between. All in real time. With guest appearances from my chickens every now and then.
