Potty about his plants

One of the reasons we are moving is to get a bigger garden. Paul has filled this one up and wants a bit more space to try out some new ideas.

This garden is full!

However...... he cannot leave his favourites behind so for the last two years he has been gradually transplanting chosen specimens into pots. One hundred and eighty pots to be precise!

Here are a few of them..

Jasmine and Olive and pelargoniums in the plant house.

Golden bamboo and magnolia
Bamboo grown from seed
Another grown from seed
 
 
Some significant trees and shrubs...
 
Camelia

Japanese maple

Montezuma's Pine

Rhododendron
 

 and some smaller specimens...

Various seedlings and one of the cactus collection

Carnivorous collection
 
 
Not forgetting his tomatoes - grown from seed and beginning to show signs of ripening already!
 
Tomato Rosada


 I have one to add to the removal van when the time comes...


Chines Elm Bonsai

So I suppose we will have to tell the removal men one hundred and eighty one pots, unless we buy anything new over the next few weeks.

  1. Wow! That's a lot of plants! How many can you fit in the van?

  2. OMG I am green with envy of the plants but not with the thought of moving them all, let alone watering them. Where would I get bamboo seed from? I would love to grow it in pots like that.
    You gave us a black bamboo but I got its position wrong. If it had gone in a pot it might have done a little better.
