Photo heavy here but took a heap of photo's of my garden today I would thought I would share. Certainly not all cacti, I love plants and am busy building my jungle for years to come. This is more really a celebration of spring and life it brings to my garden which gives me no end of pleasure. Been here three years so it is certainly a work in progress and have done a huge amount of work so far. Just don't ask me about my water bills over summer but fuck it I'm not letting it die I don't have a beautiful farm like Waterboy, I live in surburbia but am determined to make the most of what I have, my oasis. Apologise for the quality of some of the pics, were taken with my phone. Oh and the shredded couch is the dogs. It suffered death by puppy! Hope you enjoy.

Thanks all of you for appreciative comments. I know I have nothing really rare apart from all my Nitrogen freaks but it's just a beautiful space and having the established trees is certainly a bonus and I can only add to it. Gotta say it's my favourite place in the world to spend those twisted nights in (so many different structures and textures to get lost in) and watch the sun come up sitting under a Bottle Tree Getafix

I can vouch for this beautiful specimen. If you look through some of my pic threads there are photos of a monster cut of this Macro I got from Tipz. Getafix

Beautiful mate. Getafix

Well mate with the amount of cacti seedlings I have coming along it will get filled with cacti no doubt ha ha. Getafix

Thank you mate. I didn't think it was that cool but it's mine and for me that's the coolest part. I can watch it evolve. Cheers mate Getafix

Many hrs spent and to be spent in the garden. Keeps me out of trouble, well at least for a little while Getafix

Mate I have planted a lot of trees and plants with a 10 year vision of a shaded canopy of a garden with a zillion cacti poking their heads through it. Just gotta be patient now. Getafix

Thanks guys. It's my haven. Getafix

Ben thats the guys. Apparently the mother plant was 80 yrs old. It's a super interesting hybrid, can't wait to see it flower. Getafix

I am not sure of anyone else apart from Mushroomman and myself having this hybrid. He will let us know if I'm wrong. I love this Trich Getafix

What a beautiful spot bro. Getafix

Mushroom man may be able to help you out. If this pups I will certainly share it around. Getafix

Well I tried to discount the age thing but the vailum and red wine just can't be ignored as a possible protaganist. Getafix

This is not to boast(well maybe a little) but I just want to dispel the myth for new members that growing cacti from seed is difficult. Clearly fresh seed helps and I know everyone has their own technique many of which work very well. I don't sterilise. I buy any old potting mix from Bunnings, sieve the large pieces out of it. Mix in 33% soil, 33% sand and 33% perlite and 1% of whatever the fuck you want. Chuck in trays. Water from the bottom up. Sow seed. put in cheap bunnings propagating trays with heat underneath. 17hrs of light on 20 watt flouro's per day and what you see below happens in 5 days. Grown thousands like this. I know there are a million other methods but this is cheap and reliable. It really is easy, start growing newbies, so rewarding. Getafix

Music docos/movies/concerts etc, for altered states?
Getafix replied to FancyPants's topic in Chill Space
Mmmm might have to re-think 'Altered States'. Generally I wouldn't be able to locate the tv let alone watch/listen to anything. Might just back it off a bit and give it a shot Getafix -
