Show Us Your Recent Purchases 2019

They're supposed to be in their dormant state, Sheal, until the end of February but I still don't turn my back on them going out of the Green House

 

I'm ashamed to say it but I've treated myself again. I'm not a great Coffee drinker but will occasionally make a good brew of fresh ground Coffee in the machine when the fancy takes me. But curious to find out if the Nespresso machine can do a good cup of Coffee I've bought a Nepresso


I also bought some Nepresso mixed flavour capsules and, new on the market, some Star Bucks Nepressor Coffee capsules. I've tried the Nepresso capsules and, to be honest, I'm quite impressed but I haven't tried the Star Bucks capsules yet.

 

I've been grinding Coffee beans for years, getting the best and freshest beans that I could......all for one Coffee a day. For some reason I find Tea more refreshing and thirst quenching while fresh Coffee has never quenched my thirst but given me that kick and taste that I wanted just for that one time in the day. Having said that, I still had a itch as sometimes I felt it wasn't as good as I wanted. I don't use Tea bags but use the best loose leaf Tea that I can get for the perfect brew.
I'm fairly happy with the Nespresso machine, the pods and it is more convenient and quicker. It'll keep my mind busy exploring the different sources of Nespresso compatible pods . Thanks for the info, Andrews, it really is appreciated.

 

I'll come back to you on that.

 

The Blue Pills and "Special" Jacket is in the post, Andrews.

You wouldn't find me listening to "voices in my head"............excuse me while I go talk to my invisible friend.

 

Just ordered some more Carnivorous plants.....

Sarracena "Julthatip Soper"
" "Alata"
" "Schnell's Ghost"
" "Tarnock"
" "Minor - Okeefenokee Giant"
" "Rubra - ssp Gulfensis"
Pinguicula (Butterwort)
P. "Aphrodite"
p. "Victoria"

along with some more pots, Sphagnum Moss and Carnivorous plant compost.

 

I've used both "Triffid Plants" and "Hampshsire Carnivorous Plants", Andrews, and been in e-mail conversations with both Andy (Triffid) and Matt (Hant) about different plants species and hybrids. This last order was made with Triffid Plants. Both have supplied superb quality plants while also warning/advising me that the plants are in dormancy until around the end of February. Having said that, a lot of the Sarracena arrived with Pitchers undamaged. Triffid use Royal Mail and only send on a Monday, while Hants use DPD, and all were well packaged and in great condition. I might have a peek at Shropshire Carnivorous Plants at Telford and have also joined the Canivorous Plant Society but wouldn't buy from their members as there seems to be too much "argy bargy" between buyers and sellers.
