Lettuce Seedlings - not today 🌱🌱🌱🌱

 

So this morning I had planned to prick out and pot on this tray of lettuce . Simples !  πŸ˜ƒ


          Not so simples .... because first I have to make space in the shed  πŸ™„


All those Epies have got to be moved .... 

.......  into the greenhouse  .......  πŸ˜ƒ 

     Don't panic ..stay calm ....we can do this  .... just need to shift a few things around that's all !  


I moved the Tarantula Fern and the Stag horn /Elk Horn into it's new shady position on a low shelf under the bench . They will be much happier in there .


I squeezed in a Disocactus macranthus in behind them  ...it also would prefer to be in the shade . Those tatty leaves / phylloclades have sun scorch marks on them . 
   


I moved out the shelving unit that was in the middle and found a smaller one to go under the bench along the back of the greenhouse . At the moment I have put some of my cacti on that....sort them out later .

Most of the Epiphyllums are on top of this bench with shade net fixed up overhead . 

that big Aloe in the orange tub is the one my brother gave me a few years ago .  It is amazing . It has not had any water all through this past winter , not one drop .  Cacti and succulents are fascinating and amazing plants !

I will probably put this one outside for the summer maybe next week . We are having a mini heatwave right now , which will almost certainly end with a deluge of rain at the weekend .  I'll put this Aloe and a few other things out after the weather has settled again .


Aloe vera...got to get that out too . I'm not so in love with that as I used to be  .


While I'm down here on the floor ,I might as well show you the Cucumber plants .....coming along !

On the other side , the tomatoes are now pushing up through the bench .


So all is looking fairly well , it's so hot !  Then as I started to get up from the floor , my brother sent me a message on the mobile phone which I opened and read but didn't reply to , because I passed out .

I'm o.k.  I think it was because I tried to get up too quickly and answer the phone at the same time . I got dizzy . I'm a newbie to the mobile phone and still get into a bit of a panic when it plays the music whenever anyone calls me . Gawd ! Don't like it !

Anyway , all is well ! I'm o.k. ! I'm O.K. !  

                   And I'm liking how it looks now . What d'ya think ?   

 That's all fer today . It's too hot for me . I'll do the lettuce seedlings early tomorrow morning .

                                                     πŸŒΏ☀️🌿
