SoLongFairWell Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 You have to be a member for (I think) 30 days before you can access the sales forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incursion Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 There's triffid nurseries in Suffolk, although Andys plants may start to look a little bedraggled now as their older pitchers start to go brown, south west carnivorous are a great visit as well, Alastair spent half a day with me talking to me about all manners are CP's and giving lots of great ideas. I know that's a bit further but if you have a day spare I really recommend it. You can learn so much from a guided tour so to speak. Many nurseries are not open to public but most do allow you to visit if you ask. I also recommend the book: 'the savage garden' by Peter d'amato. It's like my bible of CPs and contains great advice for any level of grower. Hope this helps :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gricey Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 cant emphasise enough the ventilation point above. Had a Hants Collection mold as I didn't provide enough. Lesson learned.... as for the cold Norn Iron was bitter to say the least this last year or two. clocked as low as -19 at some points. The Sars were outside in a bog and covered with some sheeting, did them no harm at all. When the wind blew it away the snow kept them insulated.
