    I've decieded its time to repot this BOP, as its not flowered very well this year and its pushed itself so far out the pot I cant water it.

    So I chopped it up with a spade and got four good sections.

    Trouble is, I only want one and the rest is destined for the bonfire.
    So, if there is anyone out there who would like one of them, and is within a sensible radius of mid Kent, give me a PM, and perhaps we can sort something out.:)

    Pete,rather than destroy them why don't you pot them up and either leave them outside your house with a notice on them saying 'Free To Good Home' or advertise them free in your local newsagent .It just seems a shame to go to all the trouble of growing them just to destroy them :eek:

    I would love one of them but as I live in Northamptonshire even for me that would be too far to come to collect one of them:rolleyes::D

    I dunno, you lot really are not the keen growers I thought you were.:D:D

    I think I have found someone prepared, locally, to take them off my hands.

    So it dont look like they will get burned, which I really didn't want.:thumb:

    That's a long bus journey to get to Kent for Pete's plants Ivory
    How many hours would that be?

    I'm sure he would make you a cup of tea when you get there
    or take you to the "Pop Inn".
    :D:D:D
