Catch Up Cut Flower Patch Weekend - 10 and 11 February 2024

Saturday 10th

10am Sowing

We'll get together on zoom and I'll show you how to sow your February Flower Kit and (if you're an old-timer) any other hardy annual seeds that you have. If you're new I would STRONGLY encourage you just to start with your February Flower Kit and not order a million packets of seeds - pace yourself - the Flower Club has been designed to make sure you sow little and often.

Get your compost ready and your seed trays washed with hot soapy water and let's all sow on that Saturday!

I'll send the zoom link out on Saturday morning to all those who are in our Flower Club or buy seeds in my Birthday Sale.

2pm Growing

At 2pm you'll find a short video from my little greenhouse added to our Facebook Group to show you next steps with anything you already have growing. Come to the group at 2pm and you'll be able to ask me questions and share my greenhouse with me!

Sunday 11th

11am Giving

Live Q&A call - join me on zoom to ask me any questions you have about sowing, growing or giving your flowers. Here's the link to register: 

Again, I'll send you the zoom link that morning to join me.

Between now and then

• Get your (preferably peat-free) compost ready and wash all your seed trays/ yoghurt pots/ food containers in hot soapy water so they are clean, fresh and ready-to-go

• If it's freezing/really damp outside, bring your compost into the kitchen to warm through for a few days before you sow into it - your seeds will thank you for it.

• Get yourself some plant labels! Biggest error 'Oh, I'll remember that I sowed calendula in that seed tray'. You won't.

• Clear off your windowsills! We're going to start germinating all seeds inside - you can do them inside an unheated greenhouse if you absolutely have to, but preferable in your kitchen where it's toasty and warm.

Looking forward to sowing, growing and giving together!

Don't worry if you're already busy that weekend, you can always follow along and sow whenever you want to after that weekend:) All calls will be recorded and the links sent out on the evening of Sunday 10th.
