When take this flower, i just curious in the middle of this flower, it's take couple days to figure out what to name this photo, finally name of "swirl" comes out... flower with combination of white and red, somehow it may like the flying bird.

Mixed culture in combination with flowers and vegetables is easier to keep healthy. Here we see a partial mixed culture. One small field of flowers, next small field with salad or vegetable in combination with small strawberry fields.
Compared to the previous 2 large strawberry mono culture fields this photo shows a much better solution. The more you mix different plants, the less fertilizer, less herbicide and pesticide you will need.
Ideal however would be a real mix, just as in jungle or wild forest / natural fields. Side by side flowers and berries with salads, beautiful green grass and vegetables. Just as in God made nature!
All the photos shown here are from the same location - Trinidad, outside Baguio City. Different strawberry field owners try different methods. Most use plentiful of chemicals every few days! A few only experiment with alternate methods of organic farming.

Filming the 10th anniversary show at Tatton Park has been a real treat for the team. Huge crowds turned up for the filming of our closing piece to camera featuring Joe Swift, Carol Klein and Rachel de Thame. It only took 18 takes for our esteemed talent to trip the light fantastic up Chris Beardsaw's garden and sample some '10th anniversary Tatton' cupcakes which were given out to all children under 15 who visited the show. Remember, kids go free! 'Have a go Joe' had a go at making a 'lunkie' also known as a 'smoot'. The crowds loved his attempt at thatching. He was offered a stick in the rural crafts marquee but as he quipped, he's hopefully not going to need that for sometime yet! Joe also went all artistic as he turned his hand to willow sculpting when he made two ears for a hare. Carol was at home in the floral marquee where of course she used to be an exhibitor. She was amazed by the high standard of the plants, in fact she's convinced that this year was the highest standard she's ever seen. Her highlights were the Hampshire carnivorous plants and Southfields nursery stands both of which won gold medals. Carol was also a bit partial to the perennials in the marquee which were fabulous this year due to the weather conditions having been particularly good in helping them get to peak performance at the right time. Rachel's enjoyed a blooming good time in the BFA marquee where eight of Britain's top florists competed for the title of 'Florist of the year'. She was on the sidelines as the competitors had to complete a surprise challenge, they had to create a floral masterpiece with a random selection of blooms, bits and bobs.
