A little late to the party, but better late than never, right? We're not quite sure how we forgot to sow one of the BEST things to flower on our farm in springtime, but thankfully our seed buying (and then forgetting about) habit has stood us in good stead and, after a panicked rummage through our stash, we found a few packets tucked away.
Stocks are an absolute delight and we would have been so sad to not have them this year. We usually sow them much earlier than this as they like to germinate and grow in cooler temperatures, but sown late is better than not sown at all. There's not long left to get them started, but if you plant now, there should be enough time before the weather heats up too much. They flower in just 90 days from seed, so by mid June they'll be in all their frilly glory!
Save this so you don't forget to sow yours soon!

Ever forgotten to plant your spring bulbs? Yep, us too.

Tulips are usually planted in November or December but last year we got a bit behind and had 1000 bulbs left to plant in January. So, we chucked them in and hoped for the best. It turned out to be a happy accident as we had a super long tulip season! The beginning of June was filled with colour, a whole month after they're usually finished. We planted our main crop at the end of last year, but we're also going to plant some this week so we have a longer season again!
🌱
If you're someone who always forgets or who just can't find the time at the end of the year to plant your tulip bulbs, worry not. You can plant now and still have gorgeous flowers in late spring. Hands up if you've still got some to plant! 🙋♀️

We might be in the midst of wreath madness, but the bouquets won't make themselves. This is the first year that we've carried on offering fresh flowers right through winter and it makes for some crazy busy days when there's Christmas things to make as well! Subscription orders going out today despite the icy roads!
