Nepeta snowflake. I mail ordered this one. It cost me £10 + £5 postage. All the nepeta I have seen locally are blue. I fancied something different. The write up said it flowers from May until frost. If it does what is says on the tin I will consider it money well spent. You can see its already a hit with Kitty. I have put it in that pot so I can monitor its growth habit. In the autumn I hope to split it and plant the bits roughly where the pot is now.

Beautiful Cat Jack........Oh and the plant is ok

 

Some £1 offers at Wilko and an Aenaria Montana from Poundland.

 

Bought this Echeveria for £1.50 at the market today............


It was the unusual colour of the flowers that caight my eye...........

 

A cheesy photo I know. I have already put it in the shed. It's a bit flimsy and not particularly powerful but it should be all I need. It was double discount from a discount warehouse. For £9.99 I'm not going to grumble.

If the label was to believed it was a special price just for that day. I was planning to buy it anyway Luck was on my side for once.

New toys have just arrived, and some fuschia plugs.

 

A wall greenhouse is better than no greenhouse, right?

Spent the weekend putting this up with lots of help from eldest son.

 

Look nice BellaBlue, keep an eye on fluctuating temperatures.

 

Thanks @Perki.

I am prepared with shade netting (and fleece if needed, like last night) as I believe they overheat easily and it faces south. I work full time which could be a problem but my younger son comes home for his lunch from work most days so he can expect lots of text messages to check things ..... but those are his peppers on the top shelf

 

I like it bellablue Nice looking and fits in so well there

 

Thank you @Verdun. I was a little worried that it may look ugly but I do like it there.

 

Lovely. Anything under clear/translucent cover is wonderful to extend your season. You have the added bonus that the heat that gathers within the brick wall during the day, will be released at night. A wee bit of a free heater!

Enjoy
