More trees to grow !

Hi John
That greenhouse refurb looks superb. Very skilled work.
As for the fern trees they are certainly realistic. Would it be an idea to spray the fronds lightly with colour before fixing them to the trunk. Mind you I reckon a mist over when the tree is done would be just fine.

Yes it probably would Jim .
I often find that in the excitement of doing things like this things get out of step !
I'd even mentioned to Allen when we had been talking about the painting of ferns that I would use darker greens and the base and lighter towards the top . Went clean out of my plan as I removed them from the press. So keen to get them fixed, so now the next best thing will be to do that mist coat .
When the next load come out of the press that's the first thing that will be done .!

Great progress John. While catching up I flashed on 'Teddybears Picknic' & "the Holy Handgrenade". Still paying for 60s abuses I guess. PaulE

Terrific update mate. Really nicely done. Managed to grow an organic T34 yet mate??

The mix is straight forward, equal parts warm water to Glycerin.

Quick question John. What 'grade' Glycerine did you use for this? Was it 100% or a mix of Propylene Glycol / Vegetable Glycerine ?
