Welcome to today's episode on Friday 11 September 2026.
Thanks for your Spotify comments: I always love hearing from you and your ideas are always interesting. And I'm grateful for your kind words.
Tonight I'm talking about the orders I took when recently out of the country. I don't recommended doing this unless you particularly want a massive adrenaline spike. Thankfully the order got successfully collected this morning, although I then forgot to deliver a separate foliage order I'd also taken....
I'm also talking about the flowers I just bought in Spain for a funeral casket: it was a very odd feeling buying overseas and my buying principles went out of the window. It was very weird taking delivery of flowers sitting in floral foam. I'm discussing all the reasons why this whole process felt distinctly uncomfortable and why it made me so much more appreciative of what native growers produce.
The Plant Profile series this week is Sedum, an absolute workhorse of a plant which produces lots of beautiful robust stems. It's easy to propagate from (even for people like me who struggle with propagation) and the plants cope well with drought conditions, once they're established.
Have a great weekend and I hope you enjoy the episode - please come back and join me for the next one - you're always very welcome!

Join me on my journey through a year of growing and selling cut flowers in England.
