My Tiny PlotRoses for a Friend
I picked some Roses today for a friend and neighbour who was celebrating her birthday. I love that I can go out into my garden and pick lovely flowers. I feel like some kind of Victorian lady with my secateurs and basket gathering whatever is flowering right now.
Flowers picked from the garden are never the same as the ones from the florist because they are so random. It’s whatever is there right now. The florist has lots of different blooms to choose from but I only have a small selection. And in my garden right now, that means Roses!
I love picking flowers from the garden because what you get is something real. It’s a bit like how when you have a kitchen garden you tend to harvest vegetables that are ready at the same time like New Potatoes and Mint and Tomatoes and Basil, rather than the myriad of things you can buy at the supermarket.
Having a cutting garden is a new joy for me. And I’m only too happy to spread the love.
@mytinyplot Nice!
I couldn’t agree more! I don’t have the space now for a full cutting garden so I just have annuals like zinnia, cosmos and sunflowers. What is in your cutting garden and what kinds of roses are those?
It’s a beautiful thing
Lovely flowers. It’s always a buzz to share flowers and produce from the garden.

It is surely a great feeling to gave it to someone whom you loved the coming form the produce of your very own garden..
