Summer is coming?

Yesterday we posted the last box of our scented narcissi for this season. They are normally finished much earlier in the month but with April seeming confused about whether it should snow or be sunny we have been able to pick them for much longer this year.

Other than the peculiarities of the Great British weather it has been a fairly uneventful month. We’ve said goodbye to Charlie and Hannah who have left the farm to work at the school and bakery respectively. Neil our operations manager and Geoff from the office have gone off on a month-long holiday (not together!) and the calm of summer (if not the heat) has descended over the farm after a very busy winter.

Now it’s time to concentrate on our scented pinks which are only a few weeks away from being strong and long enough to start sending in our postal boxes.
