Happy to report about 40 pots continuing to be recycled each month.
This week a friend has sent some spring flowers, $2 bunch or 2 bunches for $3.
Just winding down for winter but some good landscaping buys atm.
Several bags of Aspidistra - make artistic borders n tropical gardens.
Doing some large bulk bags of grasses, mondo and acornus. 50c strawberries. Few succulents left been putting out indoor plants when I am home and they have been popular. Got maiden hair and marantas left and of course the aspidistras go well inside, also alocasia jade millie. a few canna left and 2 big jade plants. Also putting a plumbago out today. Someone requested one but message has been lost. One lovely ruby bromeliad and several big pots of bilbergia elegans- that make lovely landscape fillers in sunny spots. They go a pretty copper colour and flower often then. Thanking you all.
