        not a dumb question:chicken::chicken::chicken: , they all have little personalities and some are moody and bossey and others that love a tickle under the chin and back of the neck and loved to be carried around I know Loli has a photo of one wearing a pearl necklace :snork: @Lolimac can you root that one out please

        we had 4 when I was a kid and were so tame I treated one like a big budgie and would sit on my shoulder. :rolleyespink:

            I love the Aldi plants (when they water them, that is) I have had some really healthy bargain plug plants from there and they are starting to get them in again - can't wait!

                Hi Jason, its only February I would wait and save your ££ , you would need a heated greenhouse to keep them growing , plus most wont be able to plant out until the last frost and depending where you live could go into May .

                  I agree I doing a lot of windowsill growing at the moment and I tend to get the cheap unwanted plants in the garden part of b&q etc,
                  I find it more rewarding nursing them back to full health as the staff do t give a flying toss about them
