            A local guy is making concrete garden ornaments etc at very reasonable prices and we couldn't resist these, a large and heavy toadstool with a face :biggrin: Plants 172.jpg

            And a new bird bath
            Plants 173.jpg

            Just need to soak them and get some yogurt and moss spores and smear it all over them to start the aging process as they look a bit in your face :)

              I bought an un-named Haworthia in Lidl reduced to £1.49. Split it up and now have three good sized pots of them....................

                    Ooooh, you're a bundle of joy!!!

                    Seriously though, I'm going to treat it just the same as my Echeveria glauca (a close relative) - dry in the cold g/house for the winter. The Echeveria seems happy enough at the moment..............

                        Can you not return one? Amazon are pretty good at returns, and you are within your rights to do so under the distance selling act.

                        I may indeed return one FC. The other one was a Spear & Jackson Elements digging spade. I may just keep both of them so I can have a spare. Can't believe I've been so dozy :dunno: Well actually I can! :snork:

                          You didn't manage to buy a nice Sneeboer or De Wit one as well did you ? When I win the lottery I'm having one of every tool that they make ... and a stonking big Potting Shed to put them in ... I think I'll call it "Long Meadow" :heehee:

                            Got a great bargain at B & Q last week. Found two poppies, which were looking pretty ragged and tatty, priced at £2.98 each. My philosophy is "if you don't ask you don't get" and took them over to one of the garden centre staff who took a look at the sorry specimens and promptly reduced them to £1 each. They are now in my garden receiving some nice TLC and a nice feed.
