Sown and Grown by me

A hobby gardener taking tentative steps into growing cut flowers and floral arrangements.

The flowers that are used in my arrangements are grown in my own garden or sourced locally.

Did I have a favourite one …. now that would be telling but there are a couple which have made their way onto next years shopping list

If you’re in the area and want to checkout some stunning dahlias along with some beautiful gardens the an afternoon at Sofiero is highly recommended

I’m gob smacked
My spider plant has had babies
For someone who can kill a houseplant at 20 paces this is feels like I’ve won the Olympics of houseplants

Now I’ve tempted fate it will be dead by tomorrow

People say I have a green thumb but let me tell you a little secret about my green thumb

Most of my gardening comes down to my silent partner Mother Nature she does the hard work I take the credit.
A lot of what I do is by chance with a dash of OMG it worked ( ok I do know some stuff)

Sometimes you just have to give it a try and see what happens

Nearly 3 weeks away and I’m finding lots of little gems

First up Saffron, I planted these corns probably 2-3 years ago from Farmer Gracy

It always makes me happy when they show up

Anyone like some saffron as I hate it

I personally think these would add some interest to late summer arrangements but I’m struggling to find any info on vase life and or cut flower suitability

Have you worked with Cape Fuchsia (Phygelius capensis) or Himalayan honeysuckle ( Leycesteria formosa) before? How did you rate them

Many thanks ☺️

Life has gotten a little bit out of sync lately

Last week I was working on a installation for Folkets Park in Malmö

It was 2 entrance podiums and a floral cloud for the autumn season

Was I daunted by the challenge? No it was just a case of scaling everything up. Instead of using twigs it was branches for the foliage. And not using a single flower they were bunches to create impact. And the mechanics inside was good old chicken wire.

I’m not one for getting all political on my account but this has made me angry

Yesterday SD decided that I was one of the lucky ones to receive a text message

Only after talking with my neighbour this morning about receiving the text she told me about the newspaper article

Unfortunately I deleted the message so I can not make a claim but hopefully for friends that received and haven’t deleted it can make a claim

Article below 👇

Sverigedemokraterna skickade sms till personer som inte firar svensk namnsdag. Personer som fått sms:et kan ha rätt till skadestånd, rapporterar TV4 Nyheterna.
På lördagsförmiddagen plingade det till i flera mobiler i Sverige. Ett sms med budskapet att SD och S är överens om att stänga muslimska friskolor skickades ut av Sverigedemokraterna.
Sms:et gick ut till personer vars namn inte finns med i den svenska namnsdagskalendern, enligt SD. Partiets presschef Oskar Cavalli Björkman har uppgett att meddelandet gått ut till ”den grupp vi bedömer är mest sårbar för hedersförtryck och islamism”.
Men att samla in namn och telefonnummer är känsligt, det är uppgifter som är skyddade enligt dataskyddsförordningen GDPR. Om SD dessutom har samlat in uppgifter om människor som de anser tillhöra en viss grupp är det ”oerhört allvarligt”. Det säger Caroline Olstedt Carlström, ordförande för Forum för dataskydd till TV4 Nyheterna.
Flera experter anser att tilltaget bryter mot lagen. GDPR-experten Monika Wendleby råder de som fått sms:et att höra av sig till Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten, IMY.
– De kan ifrågasätta vilken rätt Sverigedemokraterna haft att behandla deras personuppgifter. Har partiet gjort fel har man rätt till skadestånd, säger hon till TV4 Nyheterna.

Yes I work outside
Yes I’m working with plants
BUT sometimes you have to take a step back and just be in the nature

I love gardening and growing my flowers but now and again you need to get back to basics and just be.

A day in the woods has recharged my mojo and I’m good to go

Why can I be so sure that these seeds will germinate

They have come from my garden and I know that the parent plant grew and thrived here. Which probably means that those seeds will also do the same

Those parent plants are also grown from self seeded plants (or from a little help from me in the form of direct sowing)

They are easy seeds to sow and grow and don’t need anything special

I will probably be professional and sow some into individual pots as well as winter sowing but these will do for today

It’s not going to win any medals for the most glamorous Pinterest log storage but who cares

Now I’m ready for cosy evenings of hot chocolate and binge watching
