Today's the day ! Out with the Tomato plants !
Time to make space for all my cacti and other plants . Growing on the bench but below the tomato plants , they have all been nicely shaded from this summer's hot sun .
Especially this Maihueniopsis clavarioides .
Another very precious one I bought from Mr Pilbeam of "Connoisseur Cacti " .
Mine must be more than ten years now .
It is extrememy slow growing and perfectly hidden in amongst the rocks .
It comes from very high altitude regions of Argentina . Has a large tap root and is a creeping form .
I have yet to see it bloom . I think it has large yellow flowers .
I need to make a new plant label for it .
Lophophora williamsii also has a long tap root and it looks as if I missed this one blooming under all the tomato plants !
New plant labels all round I think . I can't even read this one !
Anyone know what this one is ?
It is beginning to put up flower buds !
Tomorrow I will clear the remaining parts of the tomato plants under the bench .
I'm going to leave the Cucumbers for a bit longer as they are still producing fruits .
Room on the bench for my Pelargoniums / Geraniums now and I am starting to bring in some of my more tender plants .
Start gathering fleece and newspapers ready to cover things on cold nights .
Cheerio fer now ! Peace and Love 🕊️🤍
Make it a great weekend !
Love Debbie 💐x
