Preparing The Flower Garden For My Summer Holidays

I am going away for almost 6 weeks, in the middle of June, just as everything should be blooming, but I don't want to miss all the flowers I have babied over the winter and planned and worked so hard for, so I am prepping the garden to try and delay flowering and hopefully return to lovely just blooming flowers and not just a huge patch of weeds.
I'm Pheigi at From The Witch's Garden, a Scottish girl trying to grow cut flowers on my allotment in Kanagawa prefecture in Japan. Remember to subscribe if you want to follow along and see if we actually get any flowers at the end of the season or if it is all a crispy burnt mess.
If you want to see what I do with the flowers I grow check out ‪@fromthewitchsgarden‬ on instagram.

Hope you had a lovely time back home with your sister and family. And hope too that you have a blooming garden to go back to 💐

Thank you. I had a great time. It has been raining heavily since I got back but heading to the allotment later today. Fingers crossed.

Shiso grows here too but it looks completely different. Anxious to see how everything fared in your absence. Welcome home =)

Thank you. I am heading to the allotment later today so will share pictures of the chaos.
