    You're welcome. It's a good plant to have a go with as the success rate is high. Maybe 80% of cuttings will take and grow on happily.

    The Walipini Project (aka greenhouse shenanigans)

    Something like that. Control the flow a bit and tank it with maybe a solar pump. They're usually bugger all use of course so I might just leave it well alone!

    I always make sure I have cash ( notes and coins ) to hand - it's the best way for the local egg and veg. places which only use "honesty boxes". How does one define "legal" beggars as opposed to "illegal" ones ? Donating to registered local charities is the safest way I find- usually at least.

    Vegetable Growing 2026

    Good to see somebody else does these too. Have been surprised to find these are quite frost hardy; the earliest sowing were planted outside and have mainly survived the winter.
