What a brilliant week its been. Not only has the weather been completely gorgeous but we've sold loads of flowers, in fact we've sold every flower that our hard working Sweet Pea plants have produced this week, about 250 in all. Most have been sold through Miller-Ashman florists in Midsomer Norton as bunches of 12 and have been snapped up within hours of being delivered. I can't quite put into words what a relief and satisfying feeling it is after all these months of hard work to have produced something that people want to buy. I'm looking forward to taking another 100 to Rachel's shop in Bath on Thursday because I know she's going to love them, they smell so gorgeous.

We've also had an order from Lesley's Flower Shop in Frome for 150 next week. These are destined for an organic bridal bouquet which is a lovely thought. I'll enjoy cutting those next Friday morning.

We've managed to help out Henrietta for her wedding as well. She tracked us down through Google in her search for a back up plan in case her first plan of growing her own wedding flowers didn't succeed. As it turned out, chickens escaping into her flower garden have put paid to her best intentions and fortunately for her we should be well and truly blooming by her wedding day in July.
