In fact I don't think I 've actually gone to specifically water it for a couple of years and it looks as though it has really enjoyed the rain and puffed itself up with renewed vigour .</p><p> Into the corner it goes with all the other dangerous beauties !</p><p> I grew this from seed that I bought from the British Cactus and Succulent Society many years ago .</p><p>The thing with an Agave is that no matter how big the pot is that you put it in , it will quickly grow into it and then stop . If you don't re-pot it then it will make off-shoots ,which I noticed this one has . I decided that this one was big enough and so I have put it into this pot and there it must stay forever more now as it would be far too dangerous to set it free in my garden . I already have three or four less dangerous ones in the garden .</p><p>Tomorrow I will take a closer look to see if I can separate the off-shoot . ...and send it to some other botanically insane person to love .</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4jH3qMyOLaVuv7lWUxxN10AkikeqRm-XJ8hCWQMFUJny4COBOGCpFesv3XQ0YtcunpT1ePzUEUujuTEEmZ7FpNpvfuFPXj2UdDiVSujcA63koC1YZ6O2h12clegvM3soPLJI0w-y5hLznmuCIxyfRuDYHAWwDj3vUEKiaPkYn9-q7q26gTbG-Cg7-HOs/s1504/DSC_0028.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1504" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4jH3qMyOLaVuv7lWUxxN10AkikeqRm-XJ8hCWQMFUJny4COBOGCpFesv3XQ0YtcunpT1ePzUEUujuTEEmZ7FpNpvfuFPXj2UdDiVSujcA63koC1YZ6O2h12clegvM3soPLJI0w-y5hLznmuCIxyfRuDYHAWwDj3vUEKiaPkYn9-q7q26gTbG-Cg7-HOs/w400-h266/DSC_0028.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p>Here we have from left to right Epiphyllum var "Curt Backeberg " A couple of Epie cuttings , a beautiful Aloe that my brother gave me , somewhere in there is a plant label , unfortunately at this time it is swathed in cobwebs and I don't want to put my hand in !

I have to get all the plants back into the new greenhouse , but can't do that until the benches are put in the right places and the trellis and the shade netting put up on the north facing window . I am trying to gather everything I need to get this done ..I need to buy brass hooks and a sharp pointy thing (bradawl ? ) A big hook and an S - hook to hang the lantern on . I need to buy more hooks for the windbreak netting over the door . Shelf things...brackets ?..to hold my lovely long piece of drift wood . One of the side windows is in a different place to where it was before , right where the driftwood used to be , but it's o.k. I just need to reconsider , review the situation .... change things around , work it out again .</p><p> I am so in love with my new greenhouse and feeling so grateful !</p><p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUpD3t95-aJxnO78ZcwgcVi0qihb2wpoiwJGb6sylj_6D1SSAnMUUkb3X2GKmd5wB0dnnf9C1lYugdv6nbdNWKJ3DLPCRMih6nLvMjbUUMAsK6-VbzE4NDjxoNIZg8XWR2jHidWGN4BHohryQudl6TY3kMkQV-Fig-KXV1A90YQaJ_GEeQlwMRtqJ-fGM/s1504/DSC_0076.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1000" data-original-width="1504" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUpD3t95-aJxnO78ZcwgcVi0qihb2wpoiwJGb6sylj_6D1SSAnMUUkb3X2GKmd5wB0dnnf9C1lYugdv6nbdNWKJ3DLPCRMih6nLvMjbUUMAsK6-VbzE4NDjxoNIZg8XWR2jHidWGN4BHohryQudl6TY3kMkQV-Fig-KXV1A90YQaJ_GEeQlwMRtqJ-fGM/w400-h266/DSC_0076.JPG" width="400" /></a></div> 🌿💚🌿 New greenhouse 🌿💚🌿<p></p><p>The tomato seedlings need potting up into next size pots .

One of these was badly broken up . There were seven loose tubers in the bag , these won't grow as they have no stem . I contacted the company sending them a message and photo of this and the person I spoke to was quite unhelpful saying that they are packed by machine that sometimes breaks them up . She told me that even if there was only one or two tubers attached to the main stem , that I would get a plant from it . There were only a couple attached to the main stem . The thing is it won't be as good a plant as it would be with all of those tubers had still been attached ...it kind of obvious isn't it ? Why put those loose and useless tubers in the bag ?! She told me to contact them again if it doesn't grow . </p><p>I am so disappointed , they were expensive . I have bought from them before and they have been excellent .
