Does anyone know anything about gardening?

Anyone swap seedlings or plants on here? I have various succulents that keep having babies and would be up for swapping them for others I don’t have. I have aloe vera and aloe aristata for days, for example.

Yes I'd be up for some baby succulent swaps :)
There's also a houseplant thread https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/302626/

I have some jade plants and Easter & Christmas cacti for swapz in Catford. Whatchu got?
Also some Japanese anemones which need new homes but distinctly outdoors. Wanna come get them @hoefla?

I’m keen. I’ll take a pic later

Yes yes!
I'm afraid the Easter leaf didn't make it :( I think I let it dry out too much.
Jade is doing well - and two leaves that came off in transport are also making new babies

I have Christmas cactus (can take cuttings or root up if you want but my success rate on leaves/cuttings has been high), and a nice green succulent which has had many offspring, I don't know what it's called, maybe a hybrid of some kind. It's just kind of generic cute green succulent (see photo).

Should hopefully have some more soon - I'm trying to propagate my favourite little "Burro's tail" at the moment but it's slow going. I have a couple leaves that broke off a nice pale grey echeveria that are just starting, and a couple of leaves from a kind of jade variation where the leaves look like little upright suckers which have been rooting since winter, are fine, but just haven't started doing anything yet.

^ very cute indeed!

Cool. I’ll take pics later and we can all see what we’ve got/want.

My Chinese money plant has some babies, can someone give me some guidance on what I do with them. Thanks.

Wait until the exchange rate improves.

One either side of the front door is said to bring the money in.... Hasn't worked for me but I love in hope.

I popped some photos of the succulents I have for swap in the house plant thread.

Plant identification please:
This has just popped up - haven't seen it in my garden before, but the fence panel was replaced a few weeks ago so something may have come over from the neighbours (who have raised decking on the other side of the fence as far as I know).
I'm really hoping it isn't japanese knotweed - the leaves have rough, slightly serrated edges and they aren't flattened at the base. What is it?

Some kind of cornus?

Beech nut off squirrels?

sadly not, I love a beech tree

possibly. unsure.
I probably don't want it though do I?

Definitely ain't JPK. Pull it by the root and bin it.

Or else try a reverse google image search or one of the tree identifying apps.

Fuckers have been pelting my garden for weeks now. Every morning for a couple of hours it's like spiky hail. Lovely tree though.

thanks, just need some reassurance that it isn't!
the squirrels drop holly berries all over my garden. I have an endless supply of holly seedlings. and sycamore. and a few ash.

I reversed image search your picture (slow afternoon) and it came up with paper/canoe birch. No mention of the dreaded JPK!

oh, thanks! I don't think it's quite right - the birch leaf veins are clearer parallel lines. I will keep an eye on it...

Mum planted hundreds of tulip bulbs in a colour wheel so they gradate in lovely hues, the squirrels dug them up then planted them again randomly for shits and giggles and ruined the effect because they're tossers.

lol

First plants in our allotment

My mum now has a supersoaker locked and loaded outside the back door.
