The Rural Florist

The egg carton tulip trend. I’m sceptical, but what have I got to lose?

Trialling Avant Garde and Barcelona, with the egg carton as is, with holes cut out (extra effort which probably defeats the point of ), planted in situ and some of last years odds and new thrown in for fun.

What do you reckon, will the egg cartons actually do anything, or is this just nonsense?

Somewhere along the way, I forgot that not everything I grow has to be productive.

After simplifying parts of the flower farm, I’m left with this awkward triangle patch filled with weeds and earmarked for lawn.

Instead, I’m attempting to turn it into a living sweet pea dome using twisted willow, Garden on the Hill | Yvonne Baker sweet pea seeds and a nothing to lose attitude.

If all goes to plan, it will create a place for kids to play, imaginations to run wild and a little extra magic in the garden.

Who’s growing a sweet pea teepee this year? I’m a bit late off the starting blocks but I’ve sown the seeds today and excited to get stuck in!
