A greenhouse that works like the Tardis.
If Santa can’t sort that, then a politcal resolution around the difficulties of amateur growers importing from Europe.
I don’t expect to get either.

A dehumidifier unit which occupies no space but drains every drop of moisture without a power source or maintenance.
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

Keith; Let me know if Santa brings you that :wink:
Cindermanrolls; I like that idea, but my greenhouse seems big on the outside but never has any room on the inside :?:
