    Hi BM!

    I just had a good browse through your fantastic garden. However, I am wondering about when all of these huge plants get bigger, how you will be able to get through! And you keep buying more - have they taken over the house yet?

    In the 5th lot of photos, the third one down, you wrote "aroids" - hey, it is my Exotic Weed! LofL put a pic up last year to ID it for me, something like an Italien Aron came up. Must say, ours gets better every year, have one really lovely large clump and a few small ones this year. Ours appeared by itself in our garden some years ago. I recently saw a bulb/root for sale (first time ever!) - 1 bit for ââ??¬4.99

    I like the idea of a BananaCam.

    I have warned people that they may have to crawl to the various seating areas. In actual fact I am quite ruthless in pruning and there is always a way through :D ;) There was enough money left over to buy each of my boys a small tree fern each. Nice for them to look after. By the time they retire they should just be able to walk under them :rolleyes: :D

    MF, the bananas are trying to push the roof off and the flower has a nice stem forming. I would have uncaged them but there is still a risk of frost for thursday and friday and that would be a disaster for the flower even if the trunks were fine.
