Officially it is autumn and while we are still experiencing very hot weather, it is dry and just a little cooler at night, we have wonderful flowers right now.
The quality is excellent.
We had the whole family helping out with the pick this morning (although one granddaughter did not appear) but the rest of us worked hard including little Miss 4 year old - who is very good.
She can prepare the buckets and she helps Poppy but getting five stems of the same variety together and passing them to Poppy who checks the quality, and then bunches them and puts them in the buckets ready for counting and putting in the cold room.
She's an excellent worker and very keen to earn pocket money by doing this. Both of the girls have worked hard with the flowers but they don't have a great capacity to keep working until the job is done. We don't complain - any help is wonderful, and we'd never want them to feel obligated to work.
Miss 6 has not had her flower stall recently - mother has been working longer hours, so not able to supervise the flower stall which is of course necessary for such young girls.
Maybe next week.
