THE BIRTH OF MY FLOWER FARM

I am sharing the tiny space with the new fence posts (way on the other side of the field, to the right of the gorgeous red barn) with a friend, we are farming half each - and here is the beginning of my dream - Half Acre Flower Farm.


Spot the new fence posts

10 ft deer fence all around, a small grassy landing spot to keep clean - when it rains, it's a clay mud pit!  The concrete blocks merely add a good barrier between grass and growing, bark chip pathways and a 50ft row of Nigella and some Lace Flower

A first attempt at sweet peas, hopefully there is enough soil amendment down there to get them going
