flowers to come

Yesterday my friend Marcus tilled down at the glassworks, where I will be growing cut flowers.

It was a really pretty morning, warm and clear – we’ve had a true spring this year on the island, daffodils and all, which is so glorious after the washout of 2009.

The soil there is gorgeous, dark and loamy, smells just right. I’ll have to make a pass or two more with the little bcs to break up the clumps, and then the bachelor buttons are ready to go in, soon to bloom in electric blue.
