    Cheers, but i only started this cos it was too early to do a proper one, got a feeling august onwards will be very busy on this forum!



    I am loving watching everyone having a good time imageimageimage
  • what it missing in height, it puts out in lower growth, hense the trailing thing, still quite woody towards the center of the mother plant, but even the new plants offer at least 12 inch growth per year

    Without cutting it back, so if cut back, it would produce more growth ofc

    Was tempted to say i will have a piece, but then remembered im supposed to be digging and emptying the beds, not adding! Doh image
  • Bekkie ur a star in my eyes! I only wish more people would think like u, in the old days, people traded food for food, they grew what they could to provide for there family, then swapped what they had surplus of for other stuff they did not grow!

    I personally grew up this way, farmer provided what we could not afford and we grew what they did not have time or room to grow, hence my vast knowledge in this stuff image

    Sadly its still a bad recession in Ireland and prices are way to high, £ 2.00 for a cauliflower the size or a girls fist!  So I grow my own, eat my own and may even try running a business next year supplying this stuff, who knows, if I can grow it, I may even make more than my rent for a change lol

  • Bekkie if u cook at all, I would advise u take a cutting, as I have worked with herbs most of my adult life and never once seen this type! So to me its just as awesome as you are! lol

    I would love a cutting of the trailing rosemary, its good for bees and looks lovely in an urn type tub,

    I will send you my address tomorrow, many thanks.

    I amgoing to try and save seeds of the Stachys, lambs ears, good for bees and lovely and furry.

    I have got the tall Echium seeds now, so will be posting soon, also some pretty double pink aquilegia seeds and a few white ones.

    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
