🌻🌻Sunflower update. 🌻 🌻
It’s been a while since I’ve made a sunflower post and that’s largely because the season has thrown us so many curve balls.
Sadly overnight temps have not been friendly to our sunflowers our coloured flowers have suffered the most and have completely failed 😞
Our big paddock of yellow flowers is patchy. Where the soil has been warmer on the bank they are better, but they are still weeks behind where they should be. To put it into perspective we were doing roadside sales on the Australia Day weekend and this year, the flowers are only starting to bud up. 😅
Unfortunately we have made the tough desicion not to open up our paddock for pick your own this year as it’s just not going to be the experience we want to deliver for everyone 😢
Farming is a game of endless optimism in the face of adversity. 💪 If the good patches in the big paddock flower well, we may have some flowers to cut and sell in the coming weeks but only if they are of good quality🙌🏻
If not our cows 🐮 will get an early treat and get to eat them fresh instead of as silage!
As a family we want to thank everyone for their kindness and support! We have really enjoyed hosting you on our little farm and we are disappointed we cant make it happen this year.
🤞bring on summer 2027.
