Hello! Are Club Tropical Drinks Really Free?!

Post by KevJ »

Hi all! I’m Kev and reside in sunny :lol: South Manchester. Our garden has been an ongoing project over the last 25years, a lot of blood, sweat & tears in the process (mainly mine :) )! As ever with gardening, some projects have been successful and others not so. It was always meant to have an Asian feel, and having seen and read more about what can actually grow and survive in the UK (admittedly with the aid of a greenhouse and some tlc), I’m really keen to give it a little more exotic colour and make it more “junglified”!

I’ve always been somewhat hesitant about trying some of the more unusual plant species, but having read what people are actually able to grow and re-grow, I feel somewhat more confident.

The most recent addition to the garden was the decking and pond. I’m great with ideas (aren’t we all :lol: ?), but have failed miserably with a lot! However, in this instance my best mate Ken was able to implement my thoughts into reality, and I was his trusty labourer and back seat foreman!

I hope to grow some new plants from seeds / rhizomes next year, but for now have my first mail order batch of cannas, calleus, heucheras & caladiums in the gh keeping warm. My ensette Maurelli & Musa lasiocarpa from last year
