    Nah, its an Echeveria. i can do you a dozen for that price.

    £17 I should be so lucky. It'll have babies around the edge later on in the season. Detach them and root in a gritty compost to keep frost free over winter.

    I've finally emptied the tardis of last years compost.  Then I emptied the rotol and one dalek into the tardis. Then I emptied the builders bag (which was steaming ) into rotol and dalek. Phew, time for coffee.

     You can use echeveria  babies for edging, but they won't survive the winter outside.

    Verdun I can beat your loss.image OH lost 17 pounds in 2 weeks after returning from a holiday in Egypt, G.P said starve bugs away, even after 5 days of no food image KEF nearly carried him to A & E where tests done and suitable doses of 2 antibiotics given. He looked like a walking skull. I'd been ill on hols and went to Egyptian chemist and fine after 2 days. Took my empty tablet packets to A & E and bingo they new what it was.

    That doesn't sound so good KEF, hope he's back to normal now!

    Just about to make http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2481/raspberry-and-white-chocolate-traybake minus the almonds because I only went and forgot them... image and some marbled brownies. 

    Then it's a four cheese, broccoli, peas and spinach pasta thingy with itty bitty snacky salad snacky bits, rather like the salad bar at pizza hut if you've had the pleasure at dining at such upmarket establishmentsimage

    Hi fidget, yours looks lovely, love the big pot too.

    Mine is quite a big one, so was really pleased at £4. It measures just over 11ins accross. I'll bring it indoors tonight. I've got other types of alpines in a pot will I have to bring them indoors in the winter fidget. I'll put a pic up for you to see.
