My houseplants also have a growth spurt in winter, my theory is that as I tend to re-pot them in spring they focus on root growth into the new compost and have spare energy to put up foliage after that.If the growth is strong and not pale or "watery" thin long stems, everything should be just...

Put it by your front gate, fix a metal lid with a slot for coins and hang a laminated photo of something heartwarming such as a crying baby orangutang.Reap your harvest when the box is full and buy chocolate and wine.Passer bys will feel like they have contributed to a random act of...

Bayer were founded in 1863 in what is now the city of Wuppertal. They discovered Aspirin, Heroin (curiously marketed as a non addictive substitute for morphine) and Phenobarbital. In 1925 they became part of IG Farben and yes at the end of the 2 nd world war some employees of Bayer were tried...

I have been known to creep out into the garden in the early hours..........admittedly to watch the Hhogs but I'm sure I would have noticed the odd Vampire or 2. Mind you, it could be the Church, just yards away, which puts them off a bit ?

I was thinking mine could make a good fence treatment, or preservative for any timber that is going into the ground, it has a very similar colour to creosote. I'm glad I didn't actually swallow any of it.My tongue still feels burnt, I'm having to drink lots of cold beer to sooth it.

Agree with @Michael Hewett that it looks like a root problem. Vine weevil would probably have been very visible when you took it out but there are other, small root pests that could be the case. Root mealybugs and such.It might be worth taking it out from the pot again and inspect the roots...

I could sow some and see what happens. I was going to give to some friends but that I'm not sure about
