Set out a few pots

Set a 'few' geraniums out on the bench this week.

just a few Lobelia.

 

AAAhhh ..... did you do all that!!!

seriously - they all look quite wet, is this the norm? and I am sure I have read this dicussion before, but why round pots and not square?

amazing glass house!

 

Three/four of us filled the pots in crates (about 100 at a time)then potted and I set them out.
The Geraniums had just had their first watering Waco, and won't be watered again for a few days.
The Lobelia has to be kept damp to stop dessication, the lids were up for watering only (and for the pic). Although the plants are set out 'pot thick' due to space limitations, by staggering the the rows they have a little more space to grow as they could be on the bench till late June as it can take six weeks to plant the beds out.
I just find round pots easier to work with.

 

OOOH..it`s glorious strongylodon.Although I`ve just had to look up `dessication` :rolleyes: :D And i`m not surprised.I imagine watering that lot, is like painting the Fourth Bridge!

 

Good job strongy wish I could fit that in my garden,whats the standards in the pots at the back near the cacti (just being nosey)

 

To talk to your plants you will need a loud hailer :D

 

Walnut, there's a few of my collection of exotics, Bauhinias, Leucodendron, bougainvilleas, Caorb tree and a few Acacias, all shoved to the back as I need the room.

 

Will there be any freebies on offer during my holiday down there strongy?? :D

 

When in May are you coming here?
