  1. A bright glasshouse at RHS Garden Harlow Carr in Harrogate hosts an impressive rock garden filled with succulent plants and alpine species, creating a haven for nature photography. Sunlight streams through the slanted windows, illuminating the carefully arranged stones and desert-style plantings. Visitors stroll along the smooth pathways, pausing to admire the intricate #BotanicalGarden displays that thrive in this sheltered environment. Blending the charm of a #RockGarden with the diversity of #SucculentPlants, it offers a tranquil escape amidst the natural beauty of North Yorkshire.

  6. Here's an excellent video from Architectural Digest about the Geoponika greenhouse, a "plant orphanage" in LA of old plant collections. The plants are cared for by landscape designer Carlos Campos Morera. Among the collection is a female Welwitschia (an ancient Namibian gymnosperm) which is grown in stacked old sewer pipes to allow it to grow a deep tap root to a deep desert water table.

  7. LA Times: He crossed the border for a better life. He returned to Mexico in a casket

    "Jaime Alanis García, a 56-year-old Mexican farmworker, died after falling while fleeing immigration agents during a workplace raid in California.
    Mourned by hundreds in his hometown of Huajúmbaro de Guadalupe, his death has intensified fear and anger across migrant-sending communities in Mexico."

  8. Of course its time to add some sensors to my #glassHouse / #coldFrame - I've built a wireless sensor (uses an old 868Mhz sensor network I have at home) and finally got round to writing a ds18b20 driver for it (git.solarcene.community/smalls).

    It will have 2 temperature sensors - one will be installed 'outside' the frame while the other will be inside - but I'm not sure where - any thoughts?

    G-BTTO, British Aerospace Advanced Turo Prop (ATP), BritishAirways Express, and sister-ship G-BRLY, parked on their stands at Manchester Airport, some time between July 1995 and June 1996.
    Both are in a non-standard livery, ‘TTO being in all-white after return from lease to another airline, and ‘RLY in basic THT (Turkish Air Transport) colours.
    Oddly, ‘RLY wore these colours far longer than it served with that airline.
