  • Aaaah! 

    I think there may well be a pomegranate in the vast orchard next door!

    Dove you are amazing!

  • Obelixx I'm no longer there, very sadly, but I think I may have spotted a pomegranate very far away in a neighbour's orchard.

    My memory is very visual ... sometimes (but not always) it manages to attach the right label to the image ... it's not infallible but it'll be interesting to see if that does grow into a pomegranate bush.  image

    I suspect your memory, visual or otherwise, is sharp as a tack Dove image

    Check and see how big pomegranates get and what they need in terms of nutrients and moisture and then decide.  I would pot up both and grow them on or put them in a nursery bed away from a wall to give them space and light to grow.  Then you can pick the better one and offer t'other or bin it.

    Will tell the owners.

    It's not my garden and is in France, where I was on holiday over Easter.

    Good idea though, thanks O.
