We have hundreds and hundreds of them.....feel mean using the compost as the birds are very quick to rummage around for them.

After all their hard work I then literally take them to their death!

 

[Leeski]

That's another plan for today.....maybe
Sorting and organising the greenhouse and storage area......my pots have been up to mischief and have been breeding profusely too

I have ocd when it comes to plant pots they must all stack up nice and tidy and all be the same colour other wise it bothers me massively lol

 

[Upsy Daisy]

My hubs us the same!!
I think I'm tidy but he always had to 'tweak' my attempts.

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Yes I remember seeing your stored pots.....won't hurt your eyes with a before and after pic then, you probably won't be able to see any difference

I’m super un tidy there’s always a trail of garden tools empty plant pots and half drunk cups of tea then I tidy it all up whilst thinking I must be more tidy and organised
Yer like that’s going to happen !

View attachment 44095 I should be good for plant pots for the rest of my life lol love freegle the guy even dropped them off for me I gave him a bacon butty turns out he’s a land scape gardener and tree surgern so he’s dropping off some wood chippings and saw dust

Amazing! Same here! But I'd love to have big pots! Saw tons of 7L or pots used for soft fruit trials in Wisley. Would love some of those. Are these people nice - delivery included! You're soooooo lucky!

Give a limit to the wood chips or it will be authorised fly tipping! Thank heavens that I have a 7m x 4m at the back for that purpose!

Good point thanks never thought of that !
Don’t need that much so will let him know

 

[Upsy Daisy]

Right!!!! This won't get all my planned jobs done, as much as I like chatting I must at least go and make it look as if I have attempted them!

Have a great day!

Was just thinking the same might have another brew and watch bgrove g then start

 

[alp]

Quite right. Got to go out to get some shopping done - no grapes at all. Hopefully more fresher sweetcorns .. See you round.

Afternoon all, missed beechgrove this morning woke up at 9.16 thought I get 15mins more sleep obviously it didn't go to plan.

I thought T8 lights were quite thirsty @Leeski, I have t5 lights in my fish tank and there more energy efficient but no where nears as efficient as LED. Have you considered soil warming wires ? only way I can thing of keeping the humidity up is with a cover or do regular misting.

I need to clean the GH out but that can wait to winter, I need to get motivated and do some cuttings.

@alp the plant ID is a Galtonia Candicans, they are nice but the long strappy leaves puts me off a bit, you buy them as bulbs

Good Afternoon @Perki how are you and your cold...?

Well, so much for my plan making....gave the washing machine a deep clean instead ...why oh why do I bother making them

Cold nearly gone. I still haven't took any cutting yet and its keep coming on raining which is putting me off.
