    We've sold most of our chilli plants now but still have some for ourselves and about six to sell.

        @shiney love the pink of the Nerines and I like your Liriope Muscari (Lily Turf).We have had one for over ten years in our front border which was in flower when we bought it but since then has only flowered sparsely once since then so it looks like we might have to move it to a spot where it will be happy:sad:

        Wish I could grow nice Hostas like yours but the ones who have seem to be loved by the slugs and snails in the garden:gaah:

                    Generally, the passion flower fruit that we get in this country is not very palatable. It won't harm you but is not like the fruit that you buy in the shops.

                      Only use the pulp when the fruit is properly ripe otherwise bad guts will be the result.
                      Strain the juice and add it to orange juice or freeze it in ice cube trays and add the cubes to OJ.
                      The pulp makes good ice cream or add it to smoothies.

                              Hi @longk - that oncidium noid... it looks a bit like one of the Sharry Baby variants. Is it scented like Sharry Baby?

                                Boogered if I know! It's outdoors and I've got a stinking cold! Bit of a shock to find it in bloom really as it was hid behind a few winter bloomers (Brugmansia sanguinea, Canarina caneriensis and Salvia gesneriiflora) and I only found it when I moved them to a more prominent position.
