i will be moving to the monbulk area but i want to also buy a rural block in the barossa valley before i go so i can store all my stuff and start planting gardens for when i return in the future. i wont tell my wife about the cold part or she wont want to go... she hates the cold. not able to have my cacti is going to suck, i will have to put a hot house up over there.

anyway when i get there if anyone in victoria wants pots i will be able to get them cheap because i am moving my career to the monbulk factory of Garden City Plastics.

lol well monbulk is a nice place... still gonna be mighty cold i bet, make sure u don't tell your wife hehe.
there are lots of ornamental and cut flower nurseries up that way. pretty nice n green place on the times i've been there.
some cacti will grow there, i'm sure. just a matter of finding out which ones. but with a greenhouse you will probs be able to grow what you have going now.

oh and yay cheap pots.

Strewth Darren, haven't even met you at GPC Adelaide yet and your going to move on me! You must be 'out the back' because I haven't run into to you yet. (I'm the bloke that dropped off the Lithops...CC would have told you I reckon?)

I thought it was cold here when we moved over from Perth (WA Perth, not Tassy Perth) but I have to agree with lewis....you might need a greenhouse over there!

Hmmmm, just bought another 768 x 63mm pots but might need some more before Christmas!

It will be said to see you go will have to catch up soon.

hey fruitbat i have one of your lithops on my desk at work everyone who got one at work was realy keen on them!!! I manage the print department out the back.

it will be sad to leave adelaide but i will definately be coming back and ill hopefully have a property out the barossa CC so if & when you have excess plants or just want to put some in the ground, ill have heaps of dirt to put them in.

Thanks Darren, it gives you a good feeling to share something you enjoy with others. Which Lithops did you get? I can always change it for another one if you don't like the colour as I've got 957 (on last count) that size at the moment.

The Barrosa is nice, more wine there than around Snowtown! I'm on 32 acres and 23 of that gets planted in cereal crop every year......suppose I could just plant cacti instead?? (I'd probably get a heap more for the crop when it does get harvested than I do for the wheat, barley or oats!)

Must call to see you when we are in Adelaide next.

Hey Fruitbat the plant i have is L. Karasmontana mickburgensis C168
