How we organise our seed sowing schedule - top tips for flower farmers and flower growers

It's mid-season, just after the summer solstice, and Flower farmer and florist Georgie Newbery of Common Farm Flowers in Somerset suddenly feels a slight release in pressure. Why's that? Because all the planting and sowing for THIS season (summer 2022) is finally done. Join her as she explains not only her seed-sowing schedule, but why she is so organised. She grows in small, tidy quantities, with five different sowings through the year. nb the tall spike I like is Leonorus sibirica - motherwort - not honey wort! xxx If you enjoy the tips and tricks Georgie gives you here, the link to her Buy Me a Coffee page is Here: You can buy me a coffee here https://www.buymeacoffee.com/COMMONFARM Find out more about how Georgie manages her year on her online 'The Flower Farmer's Year' workshop https://www.commonfarmflowers.com/pro...
