Hello. It's a rainy and windy Friday 3 October 2025.

You're joining me from a car park outside my vet where I'm waiting for my dog's teeth to be cleaned and for my little hen, Mo, to have some surgery.

This week the podcast is celebrating 10k downloads which is amazing and very surprising. Thank you if you have contributed to this number - you're very welcome at every episode.

I've been super busy tidying and weeding on the plot and yesterday I had a massive drama when I managed to lose my house and car keys somewhere amongst the cut flowers. All the laughs about this in today's episode plus how the situation (eventually) got resolved. You may wonder how I will ever get this business off the ground after this story!

The second part of the episode is the concluding part of last week's episode where I talk you through the plants I've just bought for 2026 and beyond: it's a detailed breakdown of what I've bought and why. Perhaps you're already growing some of these and you know what I have to look forward to?!?

I hope you have a great weekend: please come back and join me for the next episode on Tuesday.

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.
