We added two more chicks to our brood this week. Introducing Hen Kinkley (white) and Flakey (black & gold). Miss W’s class had a project this term of hatching chickens and learning about them. All 10 eggs hatched and we’ve adopted two of the chicks. They’re too young to be outside with the others permanently at this stage so currently sleep inside and are kept seperate from our original three when outside. Having been born and spent the first four weeks of their lives in a classroom though they’re much happier being picked up and patted and have even started jumping into our laps for a cuddle 🥰 We don’t know for sure if they’re both girls yet but I really hope they are!

Spent this morning up at the wonderful and feel very privileged to come home with a bucket full of Brie’s beautiful blooms. I can’t wait to use them in this week’s bouquets! Marybank is a gorgeous historical property right on the edge of the hills in Rostrevor, with beautiful gardens, a vineyard and is Adelaide’s best wedding venue (I might be biased as it’s where we got married).

Digging up dahlia tubers, W’s treasure patch is all done. This lovely clump was produced from a single tuber of Florelie Fruit Tingle. #littlecottagegumboots #urbanflowerfarm #adelaideflowerfarm #microflowerfarm #dahliagrower #australiandahlias #australiandahliasociety #dahliasocietyofsouthaustralia #urbanfarmer #womenwhofarm #femalefarmer #gnfsupportlocal #australiangrownflowers #fortheloveofflowers #underthefloralspell #dahlialove ##dahlia #dahliagrower #australiandahlias #inmygarden #abcmygarden #gardeningaustralia #westcroydon

I’m challenging myself to show more behind the scenes of our urban flower farm, rather than just pictures of pretty flowers all the time. This is our swing patch, so named because when we bought our house it was a large section of bark chips with a swing set in the middle. No shade so horrendously hot in the middle of summer and the swings barely got used. We moved the swings under the pergola and converted it into flower beds. Anyway, it’s three rows each 1 metre wide and approximately 4 metres long. Currently a mix of spring flowers in various stages of growth, summer flowers that are in the process of being cut down, and self seeded plants that are a bit out of control! Definitely not the prettiest, but it will be in spring. #littlecottagegumboots #urbanflowerfarm #adelaideflowerfarm #microflowerfarm #adelaideflowers #flowerfarmer #farmerflorist #fortheloveofflowers #underthefloralspell #australiangrownflowers #adelaideflowers #gnfsupportlocal #inmygarden #abcmygarden #lovethewestside #westcroydon #verandahhonestystall #sahonestystall #urbanhonestystall
