bogfrog Posted June 27, 2018 (edited) heya, been a while so I thought I'd share some garden pics. this is a combined effort between me and my partner over the past 2 nearly 3 years.. he is 'Padonkluft' on this forum we grow from seed, graft, make lots of cuttings.. prioritise plants over most other things we sell the plants we are less attached to and use the funds to provide for the other plants where to start... um, well i've been growing ariocarpus from seed and grafting them to pere, got a pretty decent set up now thanks to my partner's building skills this room is kept between 19 and 22 degrees, lights are on 18hrs a day here's last years ones all grown up plants are everywhere, indoors and out.. we're facing a pretty shitty cold winter but everything is holding up ok ...on the deck, nitrogen mutants.. variegated bridgesii and pach crest.. cordo crest, tbmv and variegated pach crest.. standard tbm greenhouse first seedlings we sowed in late 2016 out the back wash house full of mostly Zelly seedlings, some from Interbeing and Sacred Succulents too.. and more on the deck too sunroom.. tbmv getting some good colour.. tbmc.. kitchen window.. Bonny x TPM variegate, bridgesii variegate and Sharxx Blue x TPM crest.. Juuls Giant x SS02 variegate.. arios Edited June 27, 2018 by bogfrog 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The other side is smooth. This side is designed to be less slippery for decks that get rained on, thats why they put all those grooves in it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This side is designed to be less slippery for decks that get rained on, thats why they put all those grooves in it Nah - the smooth side is the side that goes up. The grooves are actually to improve the woods ability to shed moisture and reduce the chance of rot - facing up they also work against this by trapping water. It's no matter. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
