    They've gone home!

    That was the first time we'd all been together in 21 years, 6 years since I'd seen my half brother and almost a year since I'd seen my brother.


    The plant I rescued from Aldi was a Kniphofia - Flamenco. Figured it could go outside next year (Or can it overwinter outdoors? It's very small)

    And I treated myself to a mini cyclamen at Morrisons yesterday for my new living room table they helped me put together.

    I get on with one a lot better than the other, and that's all I'm saying! It was great though.

    LB hazels are for crop. I have enough space and say to myself why not. After all, one kilo of hazelnut is around 10 ₤. My sister miss me, but the worst thing is go back to my routine.

    RUNNY now I want something from you. Please pass me a piece of apple crumble😁.

    CHEY it's nice to see your brothers after so long time.

    Glad that you had a super catch up Chey. Yes the Kniphofia can go outside Chey. If you are going to keep it in a pot then you would have to see it was protected in the worst of any frost or snow whilst it is still quite small. Make sure you put a cloth on your table if you use it as a potting bench and do NOT let any wet plant pots or saucers stand on it as they could mark it permanently. I'm assuming it is a wooden table?
    Ante - you will have to beware of squirrels.

    Should I bring it indoors during December then?

    Table has one houseplant on! In a saucer.

    Just seen the trailer for QI series Q, Fridays 10PM on BBC2 apparently. Didn't say from when though.

    PF - its a good one!!!
    Chey, I would keep the Kniphofia somewhere sheltered but inside might be too warm. Do not let the saucer on the table overflow.
    Runners, that picture is sooo cute! No one warned him his biscuit might get soggy!
