I went to tip out the soil from the A laxiflora pot today and out plopped a big thumb sized tuber! Sadly I seem to have damaged it while excavating the pot. I was quite surprised at how deep it was - a good 6cm down. I cleaned it up, treated it with some sulphur powder and repotted it. I have watered it and I will let it dry out a bit and put it in a bag till September.

Initially a record of my attempt to establish and manage a micro meadow in my back garden, this had expanded to include general musings and records about my garden and allotment projects, as well as examples of both my still and time lapse photographic projects.
