Slater1980 2013

Hi to everyone :)

I'm going to start a glog for 2013 and I plan to finish it but I've got to have open heart surgery soon for a congenital bicuspid aortic valve.

I plan to grow less then half of the amount I did last year so it doesn't become such I commitment to look after the plants especially with all lifting of the plant pots you have to do to bring the plants back in at night to protect against frost.

I will have the help of my lovely girlfriend but I don't want it to become a chor for her to look after them if I can't.

I'm not a man of many words so I tend not to reply to questions with conversation starting answer but I really enjoy posting pictures and updates.

I hope you can all enjoy my glog.


I started by soaking my seeds in plain water for 6hrs,I got the water upto 29c before placing the seeds in water.

It is very fluffy and it also holds the water well

it looks like an exceptionally fine coir without any of the long fibers.
