All of a sudden we have loads of flowers out. Could cut 500 today- by next week easily 1000. Just hope the ones I am hoping to include on our stand at Harrogate don't go over- and in some cases come out a bit quicker! Will be lucky to have any giants out- they are so slow this year, So cold! Temperature not much above 10 degrees- and very dull. Distinct feeling of Autumn in the air. Good luck for all of you showing this weekend. Hope to see some of you at Wisley on Tuesday- I'll be the one with Pooh on my tie!!!! (My youngest made it for me)!
