Whats Looking Good October

Is that a Meyer lemon @Allotment Boy ? Looking good!

 

@CarolineL , I'm afraid I don't know. we have two plants both from a GC bought at different times. One was a present. The fruits of one are more rounded, the other slightly elongated. They seem to have adopted a pattern of alternate fruiting, when one has ripe fruits the others are small and green . I will need to put the protection on soon now the weather is cooling down.

 

I do think there is something wrong with your protection frame @Allotment Boy - it has no spare room for extra plants!

 

I went to Farmyard Nurseries today. Not to buy (amazing!) but to pass on a chunk of my hedychium Luna Moth for him to propagate. Saw lots of good things, but remained firm.

Their sarracenia (a small section)

Very dark leaved Venus fly traps

Hedychium griffithianum

 

Unfortunately I had to build it to fit the space. We do cram a few other things in. I do have a greenhouse but it doesn't get much light in the depth of winter.
