Nearly all gone hairy...

Hi Everyone,
Sorry no time for notes today, just got too much to do and not enough hours.
Another nuts week, tunnels are emptying rapidly. Herbs have all gone bar some stragglers, perennial depleting rapidly but still there. Potting as much as we can but shortages elsewhere and continued high demand are stretching us very thin, so apologies if we don't have the stock you would like to have.

Availability list highlights

Just a warning that herbs stocks are now at an all time low, we effectively have none for the next week. We have stock growing but not ready yet, and only in a limited range so things may improve marginally over the next few weeks but it is going to be tricky. We will all have to continue to be a bit more flexible than usual if we are to get all the stock delivered over the next few weeks, but as always we will do our best.

Main current highlights on the flowering stock front are;
Both Oxalis are now in bud with a bit of colour showing on both, but don't hang about they are disappearing fast. Monarda Balmy series in three colours looking strong short and bushy. Just about to show their buds looking at their peak but running low. Erigeron Wayne Roderick with loads of buds and a few opening now. Most of our Hemerocalis are now in bud. We have some strong bushy Crocosmia varieties looking great, it will be a while before they flower, perfect for planting now. Fresh lovely batches of Delph's coming ready. Fast growers at this time of year and will be flowering in no time. Very few left. Rhodanthemums are now looking lovely with the first of their all summer flowering just started. Small tight plants they are about to go forth and make a show of themselves.
This year we have two new Salvia varieties to accompany Hot Lips which sells in such big numbers. Amethyst Lips and Cherry Lips are great variations to join the team and will they will all be in bud very soon. Short and bushy at the moment, this is going to be the start of hopefully, a long season of Salvia sales. We have a few charming viola's in flower, but only a few. The short Eryngium Blue Hobbit is showing off its spiky flower stems and buds. Only two Dianthus varieties left (Coconut Sundae and Romance). A couple of fresh batches just coming into first bud now.
Take care out there, from all at Kirton Farm Nurseries.
