A little update from Rob, our farm manager this week....

The rose hips are flowering and are really quite impressive. They are crawling with bees which we're delighted about.

The blackberry is in full flower and is also full of bees. It looks as though we'll get a great crop this year, starting the week after next with the green ones that we love to include in our bouquets.

We are now through the first flush of scented garden roses and are now in a bit of a dip but it looks as though the roses will be back in abundance much sooner than anticipated owning to a fabulous run of great weather this year and to some ver clever management of the crop by Rob.
