Hi all,
I have just joined this forum. My name is Barry Titmuss and I am a true Lutonian, as are my wife and son, also both of our parents and grandparents were. I am a 50+ lecturer employed at Milton Keynes College and I lecture in electrical installation at all levels. I am an established gardener, currently cultivation a 10 pole allotment plot. My interest in succulent plants stems,(?) from being given a small plant which I identified as a Crassula Argentium. This small plant has thrived and grown and I am now trying to find out more about succulent plants. My topic for discussion is about bidding and purchasing from e-bay. I am currently bidding on two items and will advise how successful I have been and comment on the condition and packaging methods as and when.
Finally. happy New Year to you all.
Regards Barry

Hi Barry
Welcome to the forum, if you are interested in succulents you could always visit the Luton branch , they seemed very friendly when I met them in the summer.
Also I live in Mk so you could all ways pop in & take some cuttings, crassula's are easily propagated.
Is Mk college off Sherwood drive? or is it the Woughton campus ?
