Re: Aberdeen Duthie Park Winter Gardens
I guess as staff change, people with different interests come on board. One would think that maintaining the garden's collection is more a matter of professionalism and skills, and not necessarily personal interests of staff or management... It still does look better than many collections around, a...

Aberdeen Duthie Park Winter Gardens
Yesterday I visited what is now called the David Welch Winter Gardens, formerly the Duthie Park Winter Gardens, in Aberdeen. It is a few years since I last visited, and although I enjoyed the visit it is a bit depleted from what it used to be. Several large mature specimens of cacti that had been th...

Re: Pest control
Possibly odd q, I applied compo bi 58. Its A systemic, should you wait a while before watering so its absorbed & spread thru the plant to hopefully kill the bugs or does watering a few days later make no difference or even help spread it around the plant or we haven't a clue. Note that Compo Bi...

Re: Plant Labels
More than happy to be corrected, but aren’t metal labels prohibitively expensive to be used in large collections?

Re: Seed germination
First, congrats on the germinations
The seeds will sort themselves out, don't worry. They sense gravity (geotropism) and roots will grow downwards and shoots upwards.
Good luck with growing them.

Re: Seed pack labelling
If I may suggest, having an option to display all positions at once would serve the same purpose as a downloadable PDF I believe, it would also make ordering much faster on larger screens. Besides that, massive thanks (again) for making this happen! Do you mean a single long list? It's against good...

Re: Seed pack labelling
First of all, congratulations on the new seed ordering process, which was seamless and very fast, and has the distinct advantage that items out of stock cannot be ordered, avoiding the traditional disappointment. Can I enter a small plea though that something like the old physical style seed list i...

Re: Seed pack labelling
I also just noticed that all the information from the "Details" are not printed out on the packing slip, hope the full 2024 seed list will be archived as a PDF for those who did not note them down. Edit: I also received 5 unexpected packets, 2 of them with nothing but species names (e.g. ...
