    I waded through the smow to clear off the bird feeder and the table slung under, then over to clear snow from some solar panels and it got up to my hips. 29" so it is not as high at the greenhouse door as out in the garden.I can't be bothered weeding so I'll just take a snow day from gardening. :heehee:

    What are we doing in the garden 2026

    Definitely not. Could you add to the first picture a line or circle what the crown is for you, @Plantminded ? You know, I’m admittedly poor in pruning and wonder where you would prune.

    I am going with some sort of Cotyledon orbiculata but I already have one of these and the leaf shape is the same but grey leaved with a floury surface. More digging needed I think!!
