The Country Garden Company has been in 'proper' business for 6 months now and things have not gone quite the way I planned! The year started with the storms in January that completely destroyed our greenhouses and all the over-wintering plants in them.

After some thought we replaced the glass houses with a poly-tunnel in a rather more sheltered position and began re-seeding all the lost varieties. It has been a hard slog both in the garden and doing the more 'businessy' side of things but I think we have finally caught up to where we should have been.....

So here are some of the lovely varieties that are doing really well in the tunnel and in the cutting garden. The top is some very fragrant garden pinks - I love that clove smell, and the bottom photo; some of the blue boy cornflowers - there really is no blue like a cornflower. Both look great in mixed bouquets.
