What's Looking Good In September

I had a choice of several songs, including Love's Been Good to Me by Frank Sinatra. I love this song, it brings back many memories ... thanks @pete

 

You might need to supply a new link.

 

Okay this time. Is that your Lagerstroemia at the beginning? Is the door through to the allotment out back? All looks good.

 

I'll post part 2 if part 1 gets 5 million views
Yes that is up to the gate the rest is over there. But it's just starting to all look sad in places due to things coming to an end and how dry it is.

 

A very interesting garden, not one wasted cm of ground I loved that big cactus !

 

Nice.
Is that a Carnegiea gigantea I see there?
Also a few Hedychiums, I see.

 

Cacti or some of the bigger ones are in part 2.

 

I shall look forward to it

 

Wonderful ! How old are those cacti ?
All the original ones I had have died and I've mainly got small ones now.

 

Some are around 40 yrs old, mostly the barrel types and Saguaros, I think I've lost one of the biggest this year as when I moved it earlier the roots had gone and I think the rot has gone up inside, I'm keeping it dry to see if there may be a chance of re rooting next year but not too promising, the weight is unbelievable and obviously the spines don't make moving them around easy.
There is a Mammillaria in the cold frame.. around the same age as well.

One of the Albizzia trees will be getting cut hard back this winter as the greenhouse over there doesn't really get enough sunshine for cacti anymore.

 

Good luck with it

I've got a few 40 yrs old but they're not as big as yours ...

 

Perhaps it would be good to see them.
