      My car ain't that posh either!

      Once they grow big enough take some cuttings and plant one out in a moist fairly shady spot. They take off! But then the frost kills them :sad:

      Me too!

        Our garden doesn't have too much colour this time of year as we concentrate on the veggies and doing a lot of clearing, cutting back and digging.

          We shaped some of the conifers on Wednesday (do it to three of them because they are in the middle part of the garden) but I need to get some of the cut pieces off the upper parts of them :doh:

          Some of the chillies are coming along very well and I've started selling them (for the charity) to the staff of the 'Indian' (they're all Bangladeshi) restaurants.

          This one went for £7.50 - a bargain for them :blue thumb:

          My cyclamen bed is only just getting going. It's something in excess of 100sq ft and has been there for 50 years. Some of the corms are a foot across :rolleyespink:
