Re: Old seed viability
I was once given some seed from a member of one of the special interest groups. I am not saying the seed was old, but some packets had faded copperplate joined up writing on them. After spending days trying to decipher what the name was supposed to read and what it might be called after ...

Re: Membership renewal check?
Presumably joining last July would be for the whole year 2024 and not a subscription for one year from when you originally joined? For instance in the case of joining July in 2024 the subscription does not run to June 2025? I would have thought a subscription for those who joined the middle of a ...

Re: Are these offsets ?
It will probably leak white fluid if you remove them. It is an irritant to eyes and other sensitive places.
Don't get any of the white latex on your fingers.
Wear gloves.

Re: Greenhouse heating
How I set mine up was to have the thermostat plugged in near the door and the heater plugged in near to the back wall. It means rather a lot of extension cabling under the bench but it means the probe is as far as is practicably possible away from the heater. The IP65 box is under the staging at the ...

Re: My book! The Dry Exotic Garden
This reminds me of one of the Doctor Who Collection BR boxed sets that came out during the pandemic. Doctor Who fandom went into meltdown X( because Amazon was showing it out of stock prior to the dispatch day. Fans ended up cancelling orders and attempting to order from elsewhere. On the Doctor Who ...

Re: My book! The Dry Exotic Garden
I've got my copy.
It looks fantastic and well worth a read.
I'll never exotic my garden, but give thought for what could live outside for most of the year.

Re: My book! The Dry Exotic Garden
It doesn't look like it's Amazon itself, just one of the retailers on their platform: Brook Bookstore UK. SmartSelect_20240930_132154_Chrome.jpg Booksellers like that are simply going to buy the book from a well known retailer such as Amazon and post it on. Bear in mind that 81% rating means they ...
