I am a flower farmer?


Even though I'm trying to grow enough flowers to sell I cannot help growing as much food as I can squeeze in as well.

The lettuces and parsley are loving the dahlia overstory -not that they get much choice. They seem to be flourishing and I reckon its partly because of the summer shade.

By planting them it also meant the soil was covered quicker too.

Can you spot the sunflowers behind? 

It is blowing me away how many flowers I am adding to our gardens without compromising food production.
