Here is my grow list, although I am sure some of them might be the same with different names. I also have about 50 "mystery" seeds which may or may not be different, but hey! Thats the fun of mystery packs. Super Chilli Brown Habanero Chocolate Habanero Orange Habanero Habanero Carribean red...

I am off to Aldi later because they have gardening stuff on offer, One of the offers is "Mediterranean plants" for £14.99, from the pictures I think one of them is an Olive tree, looks to be about 2 foot high. Edit, My mistake that offer starts next Thursday. There is an Olive in it...

Amazingly when we lived in Greece, we saw trees up to a thousand years old being pulled out of the ground by JCB to make room for a new hotel. The next day they were being dumped into a huge bonfire!

I think google is going to be your best bet on varieties, but since you are in the UK get yourself over to Wilkinsons, they have Olive trees for about £3. I would have thought it would be a variety suitable for our climate, but do it quickly because Wilkinsons get some good plants and then...

The self fertile variety I have is "Jenny"

I saw a book on Amazon called "What will I do with all those Courgettes?" By Elaine Borish 150+ recipes Dropped some hints but OH hasn't bought it for me yet.

I grew some from seed a few years ago but father in law forgot to water them when we went on holiday! Lost all my chillies as well :cry: I just used the seed from a supermarket fruit, a lot of websites say you should put them in the fridge for about 4 months! I never did, I just planted them...

I bought one of these panels last year for £20 from fleabay, while I cannot give an expert review of them because I am a relatively new grower I have to say the seedlings under the light did perform better than the ones I couldn't fit under it.

A while ago I saw some chefs clothing in a chilli pepper pattern. Now I can't find it anywhere! There were trousers,jackets,T shirts, hats and all sorts. Surely the demand must still be there for this sort of thing. Can anyone help? I am in the UK but would be happy to find ANY supplier who...

RE: "South East Asian Food" by Rosemary Brisenden. Saw your description and the recipe from this book and just had to have it! Braced myself for a hard slog through the old book shops, like when I wanted the 1961 First English edition of La Gastronomique. Took me two years to find one! Amazing...

Welcome to the forum, from sunny kent.

Hi, Welcome to the forum. Nice to see another Brit.

Hola! and welcome, where are you in Spain? I have a house near Baza, Almeria

I found that a few weeks at -7 Celsius seems to do the trick quite nicely LOL! I have some in a pot two years old now, although it is alive it does not seem to be spreading? I am not sure what to do with it really, I am thinking of re-claiming the pot!

Hi! Looks like you are only down the road from me!! Glad to see another fellow countryman here.

Both Aldi and Lidl have good quality compost for sale at £1.99 for 40 Litres. :) Its never too late to start your own compost heap though! I use one of those bulk bags you get sand delivered in, I also break up used compost from the previous year and mix a slow release fertiliser with it and...

Hi, sorry for the late welcome but better late than never! I will have some hot peppers spare this year, so if you want any then just ask.

Hi, I agree about the English weather! You have to be prepared. I was looking at the 40 Litre flexitubs you see builders use, because they are easy to move with the handles. The best price I found so far is £3.99 from www.householdandgardenplastics.co.uk They also do a 20 Litre one for £2.99...

Hi, and welcome to the forum. Greetings from Kent, the Garden of England.

I really hate Cats too, last year, God only knows how, they managed to poop in one my hanging baskets! I have tried pretty much everything. The ultrasonic device worked until the batteries ran out. I built wire cages, and the Foxes ripped them up. I tried Lion dung, nothing! There is a plant...
