Got some friends coming over for dinner tomorrow. Want to cook a meal but totally out if ideas. Looking for something than can be done in a couple...
Hibiscus moscheutos is looking fairly exotic right now. Some flowers have been nearly 8" across. [IMG] [IMG]Not pretty, but certainly 'exotic',...
The verdict is still open on Ison. It's not yet brightened as much as expected, but should still be a worthwhile sight. Although sadly, it too...
I was hoping to get a view with my new 12 inch telescope. Sadly from my position it is too low down and behind a house :-(We've got Comet Ison...
Cut a deep cross in them and gently squeeze the fig to open them out. Drizzle them with Marsala and honey . Cover with tin foil and roast in the...
It is, but only needs to be kept frost free. The smell from the flowers doesn't travel so I will overwinter it in front of the conservatory window...
I purchased a small cutting of A trilobata earlier this year. Since then it has romped away nicely and has just graced my with its first flowers...

Am I the only person to grow these? They have been amazing to grow. Incredibly vigorous. Less than a month after my previous photo they have...
Ipomoea x Nil. Funnily enough these are on my 'to grow' list for next year! I love the dark purple with the white star.
I've noticed some of those runners forming. The stems are thicker and are a dark purple colour. I had wondered why they where different to the...
Thanks for the tip Pete, I'll do that. Are they easy to root?Victiria, did you say here us a variegated form? That sounds amazing!
I managed to find a plant of Ipomoea indica a few weeks ago. I've been after this species for a While. Vibrant blue flowers and three lobed...
Mine developed a bud but quickly turned to mush sadly
I used to have a Phostrogen thru hose feeder. This came in really useful for both feeding plants with any attachment on the hose end, and if you...
I grew one identical to that a few years ago called meteloides. Had no success at all with it. The flowers would wilt and due right at the point...
Beautiful. Didn't realise they change colour so quickly. I'm really pleased with mine. So vigorous, nearly completely covered my fence. Definitely...
