Sorry, been absent for a while :eek:

Been a year now so here's a bit of a catch up video...


In the process of sorting out the cacti after the winter. Had a few losses with the prolonged frost but most plants were ok :)

Did you see 'Gardener's World' the other night? Heavy metal drummer who had been given a cactus by his goth wife and become an addict, took over her greenhouse and built another one.

We did Oliver :) That was Martin Ciderspiller and Trixie, they're well known in the Cactus World. I just showed Tetters this months cactus magazine with a picture of his Gerrardanthus macrorhizus at the National Show last year :cool:

He does like his skulls :D
