Messing about

[dw1305]

Hi all,

I presume it will all die off once the temperature really drops,

It is <"native to the UK">, so probably will survive.

Had our first light frosts, Sarrencenia will be fine but remains to be seen if Rotala will be ok.

 

[Kezzab]

Can now confirm that Rotala is not a huge fan of overwintering in an unheated greenhouse. Can it bounce back?

 

[dw1305]

Hi all,

Can it bounce back?

No, would be my guess. Try pulling a bit up and see if the root looks alive.

Small wager?

Hi all,

Small wager?

You can buy me a beer if they are still alive? and I'll buy you one if they've shuffled off their mortal coil?

cheers Darrel

 

[Kezzab]

Yer on.

Inspiring stuff, look forward to see how you get on this summer!

 

[killi69]

Likewise, looking forward to seeing this develop. Subscribed!

 

[Kezzab]

Back in the game! Rotala can survive a northern winter.

I think you owe Darrel a beer. Lol.

 

[Kezzab]

I think he actually reckoned they were gonners. But it got a bit confused 😀

Hi all,

I did, but to salve the (potential) loss of the Rotala...........

Hi all,

Usually @Kezzab would be fairly safe, but I'll be in Cockermouth (for one evening only) in November, and possibly Ireby in August.

Cheers Darrel

but I'll be in Cockermouth (for one evening only)

No people that isn't a euphemism, the place really exists 😀 It's just up the road from me, give me a shout if you're round my way and I'll get you that pint if @Kezzab doesn't. It's the least I could do for the amount of plant knowledge I've gleaned off you over the years. I've already had a near miss with George Farmer, he was in Penrith one day according to his Facebook at the same time I was knocking about I would have liked to have said hi.

Hi all,

I'm 95% sure I'll be in Keswick (FSC Blencathra) for the week, but only in Cockermouth briefly to visit the sites of the great Cockermouth flood(s) (including Jennings Brewery).

This is amazing I was linked here cause I was thinking of doing the same thing in my green house to grow some plants for my tank

Finally a sunny day!

Pure skill on my part.
