It's been a long time coming

but the cold frame can finally be taken down.  I nearly took it down back in the warm patch we had in March, thankfully I didn't as we had the wettest April on record and then a cold start to May.  Well that seems to be behind us now, so it was time to take get the majority of plants out of their winter storage and into their summer spots.

Normally I would spend ages deciding what goes where, but this year with the impending move I have been more lax and just fitted plants in where I can.  This is the main collection of larger pots,




Now I can just sit back and watch them grow. Oh and figure out how I am going to move them all!

  1. That's a lot of pots to move around. Enjoy your summer weather.

    1. Sadly that is only a fraction of the pots (about 40% of the larger pots). The really fun is going to be the 300 or so small pots.

  2. 300!! A true addict! I've been starting to feel a bit embarrased about showing people our collection [lost count! and more seeds coming!]...but you've made me feel so much better. [grin]

    1. It is a slippery road. You will be a 300 before you know it!

  3. What is the big crest in the back? I'm amazed that it can stand up.

    1. It is my crest aeonium I posted about last week. Great isn't it. I guess these photos show you how big the head is compared to the stem.
