Re: Peter's Tour
They look so good after the repot- very impressed, I note there's more succulents sneaking in- euphorbia, aloe, beacarnea , or is mrs T sneaking some in .

Re: Peter's Tour
Certainly not Mrs T, Tina - she wouldn't know the difference between a succulent and a weed. Come to think of it, neither can I.
Anyway, after disposing of hundreds of plants, the greenhouse is, as I stated, just as stuffed full as it ever was. Must be the local strange succulent people putting their surplus weeds, sorry, interesting succulents, in my greenhouse after dark. You know that 'Living Dead' series? They're just like that. Scary!

Re: Peter's Tour
I'm surprised your potting area is so small with the size of some of your plants, no graveyard full of old pots, I always seem to make a mess, you repot & have nice tidy plant in new pots , then have gravel, old soil, manky offsets, old pot & sore fingers.
Do you wash your own pots

Re: Peter's Tour
My pots live in my other small 12x8 greenhouse which is a glass shed nowadays. That said, my main greenhouse is tidier than ever after my clearout, also because some groups are coming to visit my garden and greenhouse, starting with a regal visit by the Wem garden society in July. Cake and wine will be the order of the day, Mrs T getting that warm glow she has when she's had a few, and me trying to explain the fascination with cactus plants. We have this white tent thing that makes the place look like a car boot sale but it comes in handy for keeping visitors dry when I'm boring them about 'the other' succulents.
Come winter and the greenhouse will no doubt be back to it's normal disarray.

Re: Peter's Tour
Really great greenhouse thread Peter, thank you for sharing those photos. I found myself falling for Copiapoa's years ago when I saw some lovely plants at a now defunct nursery. Looks great, I wish I had even half that space!

Nice to hear from you, Stephen. Been a long time. I thought that you'd got cheesed off with the hobby and sold off those fab Fero's.
