    Thanks everyone for all your advice, they are now planted out in a big pot!

    Ok thanks, Verdun. The roots and shoots were quite big on this, so I tried putting them in something smaller but wouldn't fit without the white shoots coming out of the top.

  • I bought pound shop lupins about three years ago and they have done very well.  I noticed yesterday that they are coming up again this year and the bees love them image

  • Verdun, you show off anyway! I was great with latin names for indoor plants in my old job, but can never remember all the outdoor ones, even my favourites. Think the brain cells goingimage

    Hi jack 3

    good luck with your lupins, please remember if you resort to ( slug pellets ) use them sparingly.

    If you have the  thrush, blackbird, frog, toad, or hedgehog in yr garden, they are all at risk from this terrible product.

    Hi there patty3 I will not be using slug pellets. So no worries.

    If you dig a little hole close by, sink a coffee jar lid or something a bit deeper,  into the hole, cover with a piece of slate or large stone, leave a small gap in the side, nothing else can get to the slug pellets, you can then empty and replenish next day, having caught the little buggers.
