enthused by some wacky blogs by Ydd i decided to have some fun and use some of the things i have stashed away for just such an occasion.

i have plenty to choose from as i suffer from wombleitus..always colecting other peoples junk.

this is great compost and works out at 5p litre. its from lidle and they keep it inside so its lighter to lift into the car. as i was planting succulents i added lots of sand to the mix for drainage.

i seem to have twins…lol

and one more…

they are very handy as they still have their wheels so can be moved easily. as i have used tender succulents i’ll keep them inside for a while yet.
i wonder what else i can find to use….

They might cross-breed ...

that would be awesome Terra...and as they are different colours maybe the offspring would be spotty..i am mow using a hettie which is pink. cant wait for it to conk out so i can add it to the collection..
