SUCCULENT

 No, not the tender juicy and tasty pear I ate after lunch. I'm referring to the succulent plants that I put on a couple of Free Stuff sites yesterday.



To date there have been no takers from the two sites that I posted this on - Free Stuff Thorndon, Kelburn and CBD and Free recycling Wellington, Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt.

Obviously Wellingtonians are too well heeled to bother or are not into gardening. If I'd posted this offer in Whangarei Heads there would have been at least half a dozen people clamouring for these. They are nice and in good condition.

Succulents are diverse, drought-tolerant plants with thick, fleshy tissues designed to store water, thriving in arid climates and often used in low-maintenance, decorative gardening. Popular for their varied shapes and colours, they require well-draining soil, bright light, and minimal watering, making them ideal for indoors or outdoors.

Oh well. Never mind eh.

Gosh, I wish I'd known you were giving those away!

Funny. I thought you'd like them given that you have similarities to them:

"Succulents are diverse, ...... thick, fleshy ..... designed to store water, thriving in arid climates and often used in low-maintenance. Popular for their varied shapes .... minimal watering, making them ideal for indoors."

I've got a little 'rock' garden by my front door. I'll put them there if you really want to get rid of them!

I have a jazz garden.

THE CURMUDGEON said...

Whew!
I’m glad you spelled ‘jazz’ correctly.

Bring a couple of large bin bags.

Robert won?

Well, Robert got the succulent plants.
I’ll post an update later. I have a bath ready.

THE CURMUDGEON said...

I’m sorry to hear about your plumbing problem.
As you know I had many of those with our previous house.
I hope the council sorts things out as promptly as the Whangarei one did with problems on their side of the boundary.

I guess you could always act like a bear. Luckily there’s that big copse of pine trees nearby.

Are you STILL in the bath?
