Selling Restarts, How To Pronounce 'Dahlia' & Plant Spacings: How Many per Square Metre?

Hello and welcome! It's a warm evening on Tuesday 26 August 2025.

Tonight I share with you all the latest news from my plot and also talk through the seeds I've just received for 2026 including stunning Orlaya and some (hopefully) pastel Zinnias. Selling stems has restarted after a short break and it feels great, the batch cooking has restarted and there's an update on Dolores.

We need to talk about plant spacings: I have made a mess of it this year and so things have to be improved in 2026. I've been getting some answers for how densely I should be planting annuals per square metre and the results are daunting... Plenty to talk about with this!
