28 miles from Land's End, the Isles of Scilly have a mild enough climate to allow flowers to be grown outside in the fields. This year, though, the weather has been less than kind. At Churchtown Farm on St Martin's Ben and Zoe Julian's harvest of their summer crop, Pinks, is just getting up to speed, weeks behind schedule. Sarah Swadling follows the blooms from field to post boat, finds out the secrets of flower picking from an old hand who's been doing it for 20 years, and learns why Pinks are so called (nothing to do with the colour).
