We could have sold twice, no three times as many flowers, as we actually were able to produce. We are getting on top of the bugs, but they are still there. We picked this morning and there's certainly an improvement in the quality and quantity of the flowers today.
Maybe, just maybe we are going to see less of the bugs - but they are still there. It is one of the "joys" of farming - whether it be animals, or crops of one thing or another - nature interferes. Wind, rain, lack of rain, bugs, disease, whatever.
It does help us identify to some small degree with the farmers who are so suffering because of the drought - a small degree. We do rely on the money - but we have options that folk way out in the bush may not have.
I will always treasure the time we had "farming" - even if only a gerbera farm.
