Our first pick

I remember when we first started picking the flowers - there were very few of them - not enough to sell really. We were just practising - picking them, putting them into buckets of water, and then trying to find 5 of the same colour and type to bunch them. We'd put them in the shed, and wonder how we would manage if there were heaps more. There were eventually - but this is how we started.

It was a few weeks before we had the work room ready for action, and the cold room in place, and plants started to produce in larger quantities.

We have learned so much since those days of taking one step at a time, or two steps forward and one step back again.
