Hard cane rescue.

[bil]

These were bought a month or so back. I had rescued a previous load last year, and all but one took. I couldn't take them all as I just didn't have the room, so now I have more room, I went back for the rest. They were in such bad condition, I had been wondering if I had wasted the few euros I paid for them.

One, has thrown a visible spike, so I thought I'd check out on all 7. One was gone, quite dead, but the other 6 are all throwing a shoot. It will take a while for them to really pull back, but at least I am not thinking of that row of pots as 'death row.'
