Welcome to today's episode on Tuesday 1 September 2026.
Somehow, it's September! How did that happen?!?
Hub sales - I've finally made some! Very exciting and I'll tell you all about this tonight, including what I've sold.
I've been doing some work on my dahlias over the weekend and I'll share the details of what I've been doing and why. Plus, I found a slug!
I'm also talking about exactly how I chose my 5 annuals for 2027: did I choose based on profitability or best sellers? Well, I'm talking you through my thought process for each of the chosen ones.
The next episode on Friday will be all about pricing: why it's so hard (especially when you're a new grower), benchmarking with other suppliers, the impact of market forces, how the Dutch auction system works (it's fascinating), how to start with pricing and the most important things to focus on when pricing - you won't want to miss this episode.
