    You have to love the interweb sometimes. I've been keeping my eye out for a sedum multiceps plant for a while but with no luck. Nowhere seems to stock them unless you want to buy dodgy plants from eastern europe or fake seeds from china. Google images is full of pictures of these amazing little show plants like mini bonsai trees but the nearest thing I've found are ones on ebay labelled "specimen plants" like this for nearly £70.



    I mean at least try and take a decent photo if you want stupid money for it. :/

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    That looks like something you would toss into the compost heap!

    Letter written. Will await reply with interest. My money is on complete silence. Next step will be to leave a very bad review on their website but what are the chances of them publishing it? not a hope in hell.

    Just swapped to fibre. Will now be able to see all these HUGE photos. Will that be a good thing or not?

    I've just witness my husband wandering helplessly round the garden with a trowel load of fox sh**e.
    He asked me what he should do with it. As it was on my best trowel, I thought it best not to offer the suggestion that sprang to mind :#
    I was thinking of starting a Sunday poll but thought the better of it. 
    Anyway, what do you go with it?

    I fling the fox sh**e over into the field, if you can’t do that I suppose a plastic bag in the dustbin.
    Lucky Hogweed, we will never get fibre.  So many threads I don’t even look at now, and most of the ID threads. 
    Not a good site for the photograph side of it.

    It seems a bit better since the recent bug. It might be  coincidence, but I was even able to see the insect thread.

    It's a fairly necessary requirement on a site like this too, Lyn.... :/

    Any neighbours you don't like B3? A carefully aimed, full, well flung trowel load [that's not easy to say this early in the day] could be just the thing to cheer you up  :D

    That was a joke - in case anyone thinks I mean it....
    ...although I can think of a few round here who would be improved by a face full of fox sh*te ;)
    WEdges - that pic looks about as bonny as B3's trowel full would be.  :|
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Hyacinth Bucket next door drives me up the wall. I suspect they might have an infestation or no table in the house as they always eat in the garden. The banging of cutlery on the plates sounds like a cow bell attached to a cow with a flea in its ear.
    I would happily lob it into the middle of her table.

    B3, get your husband a Niwaki trowel. It’s the business for the, err, business.
