Do you GROW? Page 22
Sometimes I do. But other times zooo, other times there's a kinder option.

Heh, good save.

I agree- Wilko's plants are generally awful. And never buy any plant from Poundland (etc) that has been sat in a box or bag. It will never grow properly, trust me.

I've had cheap bulbs which are ok.
Yep, bulbs are fine- but plants that have started growth and are then shoved in sawdust in boxes very, very rarely recover.
Cheap seeds from Lidl/Aldi/Netto are absolutely perfect, though.
Hello.
Here are those toxic plants I've been banging on about. Their growth has slowed down somewhat due to the 'heatwave' of April/early May fading, but they'll soon gather pace.
NOTE: I watered them AFTER taking the picture.
They can grow over 6ft.
Lupins as grown from seed by my fair hainds last year, plus various other gubbins:
Those lupins are very early this year.
I repotted my parsley today to separate pots. I hope I haven't killed them as I've never done anything like this before. I left three of them in their original pot just in case. Not sure how many can go in one pot, but I guess this is what they call LEARNING.

Depends how big the pot is and in this hot weather??? Keep us posted.
Parsley:Watch
I've got three in a 10cm diameter pot. I had five in another one, but they're the ones I repotted.
Is it flat leaf parsley? Cus mines gone mental. I forgot about it for a few weeks, then the other day noticed it had shot up about a foot higher. It flowered though.
It's flatleaf. Shooting up steadily here. Oh for a herb garden.
