    Hi everyone.

    I've never been into gardening before but I got bitten by the bug this year.
    I've been mostly keeping houseplants but the prospect of a garden of my own soon has me getting interested in outdoor gardening as well.

    I've started with Physalis Cape Gooseberry, though I've no idea how well it's going, the berries are taking a long time to ripen.
    I've got plans for a kiwiberry vine, strawberry guava plant, Eucalyptus pauciflora, bottlebrush plant etc for a future south facing courtyard. And always, lots of dreams for more flowering houseplants.

    Glad I found this place!

                    Welcome! :)

                    Ooh, I've always wanted to have a go with those, bought some seeds years ago and somehow never got around to sowing them! :dunno: I actually eat them quite often and wanted to compare homegrown compared to shop-bought. Let us know how you get on with them! :smile:
