rogerhardcastle: The Giggles yams are tiny. You would need to grow lots of plants to get enough material.

stevebooth: Hmmmmm , ai have lots and lots of flowers coming on the outdoor Sarracenia. I fear they will grow more in this warm weather, and that I will lose the lot with one good frost!

rogerhardcastle: I’ve replaced some broken panes in my greenhouse. I opted for 4mm polycarbonate. I found that the z clips were a tight fit so I would have got 3mm panes if I had known. I used a wood router to cut one panel to size. It did a clean cut.

rogerhardcastle: I have got a Brother P Touch 1000 label maker. The cutter started to malfunction recently. The cutting head parts are replaceable. However I discovered that the flat surface that the blade presses against is reversible. This fixed it.

stevebooth: I've had good and bad experiences with the non genuine labels, mostly good, but one purchase some years ago was poor, after a couple of years the waterproof plastic parted from the writing, and that faded to plain white so lost information, scrap plants.

rogerhardcastle: I’ve been tinkering this morning. I’ve repotted some Venus Flytraps. It struck me that they might get off to a better start if the compost was warmer.
