£4 is about right for a big one. £17 is kinda rickydoodalus.
Someone gave me one about 20 years ago. I overwinter and take babies off each year. The originals in terracotta pots are martyrs to vine weevil grubs.I've got a few different ones but that one seems to be the best to keep from year to year.
Spent hours with the pressure washer on the patio and steps today. Got absolutely soaked and filthy but what a difference it's made. Clean and happy now spag bol consumed and looking forward to Great British Menu and Springwatch.
OH has a penchant for succulents - yours looks good Lily and you'll be able to get babies too.
Panda - Glad to hear you got on OK at the salt mine. Your brain must be tired now which is why it was difficult to id
It's like the sempervivums - they charge a fortune for them in GCs and they're so easy.
Been out constructing a bit and painting. Very busy day at work but daughter's got her tomatoey/garlicky meatball sauce on for dinner so that makes up for it
Off for a look round
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Fidget I have a flower pod on my brugmansia been in the garden a week, planted in a bed enriched with some FYM month ago and some BFB at planting for good measure, large lower leaves are yellowing but new growth looks good. Thank you for it, I can't wait for a trumpet
Heavens have opened here, big fashion, so off to move a few things.
Hello folks - supper eaten, feet are up, Campari & Soda at elbow, waiting for Springwatch - got to see if Chris Packham appears in my garden looking for Chris the Cuckoo
Supper was lovely - I'm working my way through the freezer to make way for summer fruits and veg. Today I defrosted some slices of goose left over from Christmas Day and used them to make these http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/lamb-recipes/crispy-moroccan-lamb-pastilla . OH wants me to make them every day!!!
Panda - put your feet up
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
All the others in that pot look fine. Sempervivums are hardy enough. Only thing I'd worry about is the pot freezing. Try and keep it on the dry side over winter.
My alpine pan with sempervivums winters very well MrsG - I tip it slightly so that any excess water doesn't gather and I keep it near the house wall too since we get a lot of rain. I found a little prostrate white thrift which I added recently and is very sweet. I'm very fond of all of mine...

Thanks fidget, I'll keep inside during winter months. Will the others be ok left in the pot, or will they need to come inside too
Nice pots ladies.

That's a reet classy looking pot fidget

OH was helping a friend move some kitchen tops straight after work.
Its now 20:15 and I'm not sure whether to keep his dinner warm or scoff it all myself.
Found my chilli willies have lots of ants in their soil. Should I be pulling them out and repotting or will they by okay?
