Hello again (after a long time!)
Posted: Sat Oct 15, 2022 10:09 am
Hi everyone,
I used to be very into succulents circa 2010-2013 or so but had a very large gap due to life and circumstances have only just conspired to give me a bit of space to start growing again. Luckily a family member looked after my collection for quite a few years (with very infrequent visits and attention from me) so I still have a number of plants from those years, even though many were lost. Mainly I've got a number of Euphorbia, Aloe, Agave, and a few odds and ends like Didieria. I live in Devon now (moved from Kent) and the weather is definitely far more agreeable and warmer in general.
The big change I've noticed is brexit. Maybe I'm wrong but it looks like it's generally much harder to get plants into the UK, and many growers seem to have gone out of business since the last time round (specks!?
)
Anyway, hello again to everyone that remembers me. Nice to see after a quick glance on the forum so many familiar faces still active!
If there's anyone here down in the south west that would accept a visitor to their collection I'd love to stop by.
Cheers
Sachi
