    For those folk going to @shiney Open Day have you any spare plants?

    Shiney's Open Day 2014 thread LINK
    Shiney's list of attendees LINK

    I will make a list of mine shortly as I would prefer to only bring what folk have spoken for (apart from any spares that I know Mrs Shiney can sell easily).

    I'm planning to plant-out this week, so will make a list as the week goes on, but I know I have some spares of Cyperus papyrus

    I don't want any money for mine, but happy for folk to donate to Shiney's charity if they feel my plants have any worth :)

    However, I do have something I do want to sell :hate-shocked: I bought a box of module trays for pricking out. I've been very pleased with them; rigid plastic, so will be reusable for years, nice large drainage hole in the bottom so easy to push out the plugs [with blunt end of a pencil etc], only thing is I bought a box of 60 of them and I probably only need 10 at any one time :) They cost me £2.64 each, you are welcome to them at that price. (These are not the flimsy ones on eBay, and they also have a decent volume of 40ml, unlike the titchy 26ml ones :) ). I got fed up with the fiddly ones with tiny drainage holes as getting the seedlings out caused a lot of root disturbance and I wanted something that was just pop-out and drop-in when potting on :)

    84 cells per tray
    530 x 310 x 56 tray size (mm)
    Square Cell shape
    36.5 x 36.5 Cell size (top mm)
    18 x 18 (bottom mm)
    42 Distance centre-to-centre
    40ml Cell volume

    [​IMG]
    (its the B84DP one)

    You don't have to commit, but you do have to tell me you are interested; happy to bring however many folk are interested in, if you see them and don't like / want them then that's fine - I'll bring them home again :)

              Not if there's a Big Fella stomping around muttering
              Fee! Fie! Foe! Fum!
              I smell the blood of an Englishman.
              Be he 'live, or be he dead,
              I'll grind his bones to make my bread.:runforhills:

                    Sorry haven't really worked out what spares I have - had planned to plant this week, so I would know what was spare, but time has got away with me ...

                    I have plenty of clumps of Michaelmas Daisies, an orangey Day Lilly and a pink Lychnis chalcedonica - it looks just like the Red one, only it is a light pink - I can't find any accurate photos, here's what the red one looks like:

                    and lots of Teasel thistles and also Echinops

                      Here's what I have:

                      Oxalis Iron Cross (originally from Jenny), I have 12 little pots like this:

                      20140520-P5200039.jpg

                      Manx Marvel tomatoes all hardened off and ready to plant, 14 like this:
                      20140520-P5200037.jpg

                      One Tetrapanax rex offshoot which I think has rooted, although it looks a bit scraggy so will need some TLC:
                      20140520-P5200036.jpg


                      And four pink "joey cans/drip trays":
