Hi, Bill here I'm based in Kent.

Discussion in 'New Members Introduction' started by Bill Bergia, Dec 13, 2014.

?

I bought a Billbergia Nutans in the spring and would like some advice on winter hardiness etc.

  1. Any information on growing medium for Billbergia Nutans.

    Hi, I garden in Kent on very heavy clay soil in quite an exposed position, so what sort of garden do I want ?, a tropical paradise !

    Good Morning fellow gardeners. Just wanted to thank everyone who welcomed me to the forum. I have just spotted some self sown Antirrhinums in my glasshouse in flower. Does that mean spring has sprung down here in Kent or is that just wishful thinking. Best wishes Bill

      It's nice to see the flowers Bill but sadly spring hasn't yet sprung, even though it's been mild weather until now. Apparently it is snowing at the West Bromwich football ground today. However, I have crocuses and the first signs of daffodils in the garden. :)
