When you disconnect from the power it resets itself to full margins each time so you have the remember to reset it each time!

Thank you.
Learned something.
Today has not been wasted ..... and next week .... label length will not be wasted.

Saved you some cash and a bit less plastic waste so all good!

A long way to go to make up the waste so far .... plus dead labels from dead seedlings

One to do in a few weeks time, once the inflorescence has died and either set seed or made it clear that there isn't any seed. The offsets look as if they are going to survive and thus need repotting.

This month's competition has spurred me on to repot an Agave. I don't have a name for this. Possibly colorata or parrasana. Any suggestions? The mottling on the lower leaves is marks from watering last year. Must take more care this year. If it is colorata, it lacks the banding that this species often has.

Astrophytum now repotted - its decorative cover appears different colour when taking photograph with phone instead of camera.

New plants on "potting bench" are from a half size seed tray and are the results from v\various leaves that got knocked off plants over a few years judging by the size of some of them,

My "Sedum trash can" really deserved a pot upgrade after a rather proliferous winter on an outside window sill (to be viewed in a landscape orientation, even editing the photograph didn't help!):



And here a "potting bench to be" in a year or so, sharing as I really like the plants and the photograph itself. Apologies for a slightly rough background editing!

Editing only helps if the software you use re-writes all the data in the new orientation rather than just changing the rotation flag. The forum software ignores the rotation flag

Open in Photoshop, rotate and save
Or should it be rotated the other way?

Thank you Jim, I was fairly certain that my previous photos all loaded correctly. Magic. And I was aiming for the first "composition", it somehow looks better to me

I’d agree the first edited version looks better balanced somehow…

Thank you everyone for taking part this month, it was nice to see some of what’s happening on your potting benches at the moment – and the setups you have (it’s the kitchen table here, and every time I fill it with bags of compost and stacks of pots I can feel the looks the rest of the family are giving me).

As for judging this, there were many pictures that came a close second, but the winner this time is Aeonium2003 with the cut up Sedum pachyphyllum. Over to you for a suggestion for an April topic, and good growing everybody!
