SHOW US YOUR RECENT PURCHASES 2018

@Verdun I've cocked up with the Carex and you help me so much @ARMANDII thank you for not saying anything
I've brought cactus plants and been ripped off for genuine flowering and they was glued on I feel a total idiot sitting here ….my own fault

 

Gail, dont beat yourself up .....we all cock up now and then. Makes us human

 

Verdun they was burning bad and I kept them well watered as you mentioned and I like to look at plants open to the eye not covered...I still have my Astilbes covered and they're coming back nicely...thanks for the advice with those as they're a beautiful plant.

​

 

Thanks Verdun but I do feel a bit stupid but everything is a learning process anyway...what ever age we are

 

Off early to Lidl and the Garden Centre..Lawd knows what I'll come back with lol

 

Milk, cheese???

 

Don't get buying any false cactus plants with glued on flower heads

 

Well done on your purchase @Jack Sparrow - even if no commission was offered!

Sempervivums are unfussy so long as you keep them well drained. But they would appreciate being potted on, with grit added into the new soil. You could keep them separate for now or put them together in one big shallow pot - my mother used to have a fine permanent display in an old stone sink.

 

I bought some sharp sand recently to use as grit. Would this be the right thing. I have a shallow bowl planter left over from a display I bought in the spring. I could use that.

Sharp sand is fine Gary

 

I think you got me mixed up with somebody else...hahahahaha

 

Remember these two guys......Well I now have the arms and sinew's for one... sex yet to be determined lol ...talk amongs't yourselves ....this may take some time

 

6 supervivium in a shallow pot. Eventually I hope to expand the rocky area in front of the barrel and plant them there. For now they should be ok where they are, weather and dogs permitting.

I fixed the broken bird bath with gorilla glue. It seems to be holding it's own weight so far. It's still not dog proof though.

Sadly my visit to Lidl (3 stores) this morning did not result in me acquiring any Supervivium much to my dismay...The nearest i could find was B&Q but almost double the pricetag...

 

My visit to Lidl today got me this catch of Nandina Domestica at £7.99.
