Growing seasonal cut flowers since 1990 for retail and wholesale. Despite FB forcing a category on me I'm not a garden centre.

26/10/2026

Fresh seasonal flowers, grown and sold on the stall on Lockgate Road in Sidlesham. Freshest, most local and cheapest flowers you'll find - though you could argue I'm biased. 😊

Flower Update;

It's well into Chrysanthemum season now so theyre available all week. Today was the largest Alstroemeria pick in a while so they'll be on sale for a few days. Dahlia and Zinnia are slowing down, Anemone just starting, so all three are few and far between on the stall.

Opening hours:

Mon - Fri. 10-12, 2-4.
Sat. 10-12.
Sun. Closed.

As there's so many of them here's a little more about the Chrysanth. I grow natural season, so no artificial light an shade and no transport across the globe, but it does limit season length a variety choice. This year I got 500 plants of each of 8 colour/varieties. In order of flowering time they are yellow and red Littleton, which will be finished next week. The Gold will keep going a few weeks. The yellow, white and bronze Beppie are just starting, as is the red Melissa, all of which will be finished in two weeks. The pink Uzuri is starting to show a little colour and should start in two weeks. Lastly come the red and bicolour Kiev. Photos attached (I hope).

I may be a bit late this morning as it's Lady's second, and last, post op visit. Best to say 10.30, though I'll try for earlier. Closed as normal at noon - hopefully before the worst of the storm hits.

23/10/2026

Storm warning

If the forecast is accurate the winds will be get bad by midday, both today and tomorrow. My plan is to open 10-12 as normal, but it's likely to be too dangerous to have the stall out in the afternoon.

20/10/2026

Growing Update

Opening weekdays 10-12 and 2-4. Saturdays 10-12, Sundays closed.

The exception is this wednesday when I won't open in the afternoon as I have an optician appointment. These times will continue till the Chrysanth season finishes around end November.

Availability. Loads of Xanth all week. Alstroe numbers up a little, but are very popular and picked just Mondays so run out quickly. Zinnia and Dahlia slowing down, but still going for a while longer and are picked Mondays and Thursdays.

At the weekend I finished the last planting of the Autumn, so for the next four months, other than picking the primary job will be w**ding. A lot of w**ding! The Amaranthus, Cosmos and ornamental grasses self seeded and have come back with a vengeance. Which reminds me, I even managed to pick 3 bunches from the 'w**d' cosmos.

When the seedlings grow a little more I'll take update photos, but at the moment they're not at all photogenic.

16/10/2026

Edit

Sat 17th. Open 10.30-12.

Turns out Lady's post op appt is 9.30 and not 11 as I thought.

Growing News.

Slight change to the opening hours as I have so many flowers available and relatively little urgent work to do. A bit messy though as I have some appointments, but here goes;

Wednesday 14th. 10-12, 2-4.
Thurs 15th. 10-12, 2-4.
16th. 10-12, 2-4.
Sat 17th. 9.30-10.30. (Lady has post op check up at 11).
Sunday 18th. Closed.
19th. 10-12, 2-4.
20th. 10-12, 2-4.
Wed 21st. 10-12 (opticion in afternoon)
22nd. 10-12, 2-4.
23rd. 10-12, 2-4.
Sat 24th. 10-12

After that I'll look again.

Alstroe numbers are the highest they've been in months, and whilst the aim is to go to a single pick Mondays, some varieties are still opening too fast and will need to be picked again Thursday.

Zinnia and Dahlia are both continuing with no sign of slow down yet, picked Monday and Thursday.

Aneomone are just starting.

Xanth are the big one and are really kicking off now. I planted 10 variety/colours, 400 plants of each. The expectation is 200 bunch from each, so a total of 2000 bunches over two months. However, the majority will come in October. Currently the first three are in flower and being picked. The next three, Beppie, are two weeks away, then Melissa will start shortly after. That is why I have to prioritise opening the stall rather than other jobs, most of which can wait a month. The last three of the Xanth will flower in November, but are the least productive varieties.

Having finally ordered a rabbit trap on Sunday, on Monday picking the Dahlia I came accross the rabbit dead. Nothing I did, just nature, but still a bit sad even though it was causing so much damage. That's also why I have Anemone to pick today.

At the weekend the plan was to plant a row each of Delphinium and Larkspur. As it turns out there were only enough Delphs for three quarters of a row, the rest I filled with Aquilegia (Columbine). Larspur was even worse, barely enough for a quarter of a row, the rest being filled with Ammi Green Mist, Tanacetum, Statice, Sweet William, Verbena and Sweet Rocket. I hate mixed rows! Especially annoying as I have a big pack of Larkspur seed which is cheap as chips, so this was just my poor planning. Delphinium seed is expensive so it made more sense not to sow too much.

I'm also potting out some foxglove seedlings at the moment. They can both be planted out till about mid November, so if they grow big enough I'll sell some next month - Foxglove 50p, Aquilegia £1. Mostly though they'll be available for sale in the Spring.

12/10/2026

Availability.

Big pick today, now starting to pack. Dahlia, Zinnia, Xanth and this afternoon Alstroe.

Bigger Xanth pick tomorrow, with sufficient flowers to open the stall all week.

07/10/2026

Slight change of plan, picking Xanth today,packing this morning with the whole crew and stall open.

Otherwise same as previously wrtten. Closed this afternoon, closed Saturday, picking Dahlia, Zinnia anybody a few Alstroe tomorrow.

05/10/2026

Availability.

More Alstroe than expected today, 50bunches other than the orders of which around half are still available. Dahlia sold out, 6 Zinnia left.

Afternoon sales are usually slow so there may be a few bunches left for tomorrow, but not many, then nothing Wednesday. Thursday I'll pick the first Xanth, also Dahlia, Zinnia, and I'll give the Alstroe a quick going over to pick any I think will be too open next week. Depends on Xanth numbers, but I predict there'll be flowers left for Friday.
