Re: The wonder of Wilkos

Hi, Pravado is reduced in Andover store to £2.07 for the spray. I bought two this morning and I thought I was the first to spot this offer and was going to inform the forum! Never mind - the result is excellent. They also had the mini walk in green houses for sale at half price which means it comes ...

Re: Delosperma

Hi Jim, My only possible saving grace is that the soil in Hampshire is very chalky and we get very few slugs/snails. That said, I do have dozens of rabbits!! I suspect if they acquire a taste for it, it will certainly be a gonner so as you say, it is unlikely that I will establish its hardiness. I h...

Delosperma

I have read numerous comments about this succulent but I am very uncertain as to its hardiness. Books/authors etc seem to be equally unsure. I have just planted a yellow one outside! Is this insanity? Will it die if it is cold? If so what degree of frost would it tolerate? Should I bring it back ind...

Aeonium Cristate

Hi, I have an aeonium cristate (tricolour) I think which I have been trying to persuade to revert to "normal". I think I have finally succeeded. This means I do have some small offsets (cristate) if anyone wants to cover postage. I am sure I have asked this before, but I would be grateful ...

Re: I must admit to feeling rather disappointed!

Lovely photographs (as usual). I am unsure as to why you are disappointed. It was a fantastic show of flowers and surely you should have masses of seed to gather to retain the plant for the future? or am I missing something?
