Indeed. I think we can all agree how important it is to give the chickens under our care the best life we can.
At the same time, now that you are burdened with Covid, please don’t put too much of a strain on your health, Shad.
Your care and expertise is what makes the allotment chicken’s life...
I can see why! The ferox is a very very pretty species.
Euphorbia have been a treat to work with lately as well.
They seem to have just enough of that quirkiness along with their beauty to just stand out! They’re also a very diverse genus in general.
Hopefully we’re both able to get more :D
Speaking of euphoria, this is a one year update on a little euphorbia I acquired last year. Remember this one? Euphorbia japonica…I believe
It has grown in beautifully, and I’ve greatly enjoyed caring for it. This plant has definitely got me more interested in euphorbia
None are dormant yet, from what I can see. The astrophytum and echeveria are close to, but not yet there.
Great winter plan. I’m not that prepared, honestly:lol:.
Oh, they’re slow growers😬? Oh boy, maybe I do need an opuntia after all.

Rhode Island Reds and Plymouth Rocks are both dual purpose breeds, to my...
I am no better! The wishlist just keeps growing and growing, and the spring list isn’t small either!
Spring and summer are the plant growing seasons, and fall and winter are the wishlist growing seasons :p .
The absolute must haves right now are tephrocactus (?), an agave potatorum Kishhokan...
Thank you! They still seem very healthy, so I’m very happy with my purchase, and will probably purchase again, if I can’t find a particular succulent locally
I know, me and TwoCrows have been derailing the thread too much lately, but I did promise photos of the new succulents in their new pots :oops: :D
Stapelia variegata
Stapelia hirsuta.
Decided to plant them in the same pot, but went with a spacious one. These are ground covers I read, so...
Okay, I have to admit, I saw a pretty cute one while I was browsing the online shop.
Their flowers are also very pretty.
But it’s all a deception tactic!
