    I got my tree chillies from real seeds - they have a great range of interesting and unusual things to grow :)http://www.realseeds.co.uk

    If you want to check out the Pennard Plants site which has an excellent range including all the plants listed in my article, there is a link at the end of my post https://dogwooddays.net/2016/05/28/10-exciting-crops-for-a-modern-kitchen-garden/

    What variety of cucumber is it? Is it Boothby's Blond?

    I've just taken on a new allotment and today we discovered a big patch of Jerusalem Artichokes. Think my next post might need to be 100 ways to use them!!

    i like artichoke never grown it though always seem 2 stick 2 the normal eg toms,cabbage,colli, n such

     is it easy ? n dose it need a lot of room ?

    Very easy I think although ours is left over from the previous allotment owners. But it's vigorous and judging from ours can quickly outgrow its alloted space. We've dug half of it up today and it'll be interesting to see if it regrows and makes a nuisance of itself.
