Sushi. Mar 2021 5:21pm, 14 Mar 2021 27,129 posts	0 Sushi. I’d like to think that I’d actually try this if I accepted the offer but I know I wouldn’t. Son has given me a house plant for Mother’s Day and that’ll be enough of a challenge to keep alive

Sushi. Mar 2021 8:10pm, 14 Mar 2021 27,143 posts	0 Sushi. Lol ok. You’ll have to talk me through what to do and when I have the opposite of green fingers. As a child I’d pull the plants up and leave the weeds so Mum wouldn’t make me help garden 🤣🤣
Dvorak Mar 2021 9:29pm, 14 Mar 2021 22,135 posts	0 Dvorak Hello all. Looking forward to this year's grow-off. Sushi has given me an idea - try growing them indoors. Only the ones that spent most (or all) of their time in the greenhouse came to anything last year. My bedroom window is tall* and gets a few hours of sun daily (if there is any - this is Scotland). Notwithstanding, I may also grow a tightly spaced patch, I've seen that work around here. *it's an old house
