Not much in mine except some Trachycarpus's already knock down to a £5

but did get a bunch of stuff from the indoor plant section that i use as filler's outside in the summer £121 quids worth for a £10, butterfly palms ect

What I wanna know is, who left my garage door open all night which is packed with plants :cry: Di Funny that, i found my Greenhouse door had been left open all Wed's night, also full of plants. But i think it's called getting old and forgetful, Di :roll: that's what my O/H tells me any way :lol:

Grapevines would be ok Nick just a bit of tying in, might be a bit slow growing though. Another one to think of is Golden Hop i know it is a bit rampent but dies back each year so i just cut off at the base and compost. No real flowers to speak of with either of these but the grapes are nice and fre...

I don't even do that Leigh, just ignore them completely & cut off the dead leaves in the spring :lol: Got to keep in with the neighbours though Nate, they hang over there Garden when they are in the green touching their washing line, don't think they would be impressed with half of that lot flo...

Job done, time for tea

Indoors its an ideal breeding ground for them. :( Check your leaves on the undersides as well, sometimes you'll find webs.

I have had some experience with the growing of the Moroccan woodbine type of weed 8) and know of people who still do, purely for personal use. I can say from what I've been told the first generation of LED set ups are not really...

As Ade said treat as an Annual, it's so easy to grow from seed, i collect seed from my plants each year and they all-ways come true, dont start too early or will become leggy. Funny though that some self seeded and came up late this summer so the seed must have survived the Winter. interesting artic...

I get far more satisfaction producing and growing plants from my own seed than just about any other gardening.

I'm with you on that Dave,

Looking good so far
