I do!

I planted a lot of seeds last year for the first time ever, it was amazingly absorbing to follow how everything grew and changed and so on. Didn’t plant anything myself this year, but bought lots of different flowers for my balcony. And some of the plants from last year, that I’d just left outside over winter, actually came back and had multiplied.

The most fun was when I just picked out some seeds from store bought tomatoes and red peppers and put them in the soil and they started growing and blossoming!

Lucky enough to have enough space for a veg patch and a greenhouse. My dad was a great gardener but it currently doesn’t look like this has been passed down to me. Veg patch has brocoli, leeks and sweet potatoes on the go and greenhouse is rammed with toms, cucumber and a few chilli plants. Stuff is growing but feck me we need some serious sunshine and soon or my tomatos are gonna be a disaster.

yep, the leaf shape is different, the stem is much more woody (all the way up) & the leaves are thin (though very slightly waxy) and the foliage is much less dense

#37

Well, I don’t know then. Maybe @dans or @colinfilth will.

I have a lot of veg growing in the garden. Got a whole forest of kale, and going to have a tomatina of tomatoes fairly soon.

My pride and joy is my hop plant though. Going to be making some sweet sweet beer with the fruit there in October.

3 rather large spider plants have appeared in my shower over the weekend, not really bothered either way.

Don’t think I can help. If it ain’t a rubber plant, the only thing I can think of is a type of magnolia, but I’d have no faith in that.

#41

It’s a rubber plant, isn’t it, really?

#42

At the moment I’ve got:
Banana plant
Coffee plants
Spider plant
Small succulent plant
Chilli plants
Pot of basil
Pot of parsley
Two leafy plants from Tesco

I’ve been growing the chilli for a few months now. Started looking a bit sickly and having problems with compost mould lately. The two Tesco plants have also started turning a bit brown on the leaves. Not sure if this is due to over watering or under watering

#43

Do you grow your hops in a greenhouse ? not something I’ve ever thought of doing before but sounds fun…

#44

Got an allotment on the go - currently drowning in potatoes, but fresh beetroot, carrots and broccoli are all delicious.

Had a load of raspberries too, but I’m very jealous of other people’s strawberries

#45

As mentioned before, the wood seems off and the flower buds (or what i assume they are) isn’t right for rubber plant, so I don’t think so. soz

#46

No

I think @dans is right

Definitely a magnolia

no idea what kind though

#47

Buds

Ah, that close up makes all the difference. I couldn’t see the buds and the texture of the leaves looks totally different.

Might be something for the DiS plant massive here

#50

What is that top plant? It looks great.

Would like to try and grow one in the pot I just got

#51

Em… I remember you posting a photo of some plants and they seemed really big! Like that the gollums ear one in particular looks like a tree!.. you said that you’d got them cheap, they were half dead and this was after a year or so. I’m thinking I should look at that diagram instructions thing you wrote up/drew as this might be in it but I was wondering do you use baby bio or something or do you just have magical green fingers?

Also have you grown cacti/succulents from seed before? If so how did it go?

#52

It’s a chinese money plant apparently! :slight_smile:

#53

Nope, just out in the garden. Needs to be in a spot with plenty of sun, and go for one of the British varieties. I got 2 challenger root stems, one failed, but the other is now taking over the garden. Can order them online, best to plant in January /February
