        Blimey - my cues are only just setting their first true leaves now. Seems I am well behind on everything this year.

        one of my two is the same, it does not seem to have the ability to hold on to anything, the other one on the other hand, which after inspection is a different cuce, will hold onto the netting, with a bit of persuasion, but also has male flowers on it too now, the leaves are also quite different and smaller.

        And very nice it was too. I could probably let them get a little bit bigger than that in future...
