Good evening dear cacti-friends,

today some photos from October 23, 2023.
The move from outdoor-dining to the greenhouses and the office is progressing slowly.
There are still buds and flowers here and there.
Today there is a bit of everything. . .

With all that rain from the last few weeks, and all those pots outside still being soaked, are you not afraid the pots will not dry out anytime soon?

I brought some of my outdoor plants inside a week ago. But my outside bulbs are in much smaller pots. I keep them in an unheated room with two windows open to get them to dry out. But that still might take many weeks...

Good evening dear friends,
I have not been in touch for three months.
My eyes and my soul have taken me out of the race for a while.

The plants are doing well, the season will start soon. Today some photos - from today. . .

The robin has built its nest between the pots in the greenhouse.
The houses have been permanently open since the beginning of February, very mild winter.

Good evening dear plant lovers,

it seems that the mild weather is continuing.
Time to open the carport, greenhouse for the Sulcorebutia, completely.
Today some photos of it and a few flowers.



First thorns. . .

On April 6th the carport was already partially open. I had already removed some modules around March 20th.

This is how it looked since the beginning of November 2023.

The winter was very short this season, five days of snow.
But more snow than the last eight years.
The lowest temperature in the carport was one night - 5.6° C,
then I also activated the heating there for a few days.

On April 6, I removed the last wall sections and stored them until the next winter.

This is what winter looked like in Köln. . .
