    Were almost at start of seed sowing for some thing in tje edible garden but im pretty happy with the subtropical and Mediterranean fruit area on the allotment. Three of the main plants pictured are Yuzu lemon, Feijoa IMG_20220127_113118-01.jpeg and Madrone tree. Its nice today at 11C so I thought i'd snap a picture. If the winter carries on being so kind, I think there will be a very good Citrus and Feijoa season later this year.

      I seem to remember from the HTUK days, in your gulf stream enveloped area, you were growing a few borderline fruity things near a driveway? Can't for the life of me remember what though:noidea:

      Ah yes hello I remember, hope youre good!

      Yes I was growing Schefflera arboricola, Justicia rizzinii, Tibouchina urvilleana and Chamaedorea elegans in my parents driveway, they got rid of it as they wanted to widen the driveway.. However it never happen so it has been reinstated with plants, but more practical plants. Only the Chamaedorea elegans still exist.

      Now Psidium cattleianum, Passiflora edulis and various climbers grow under there now.
