^I appreciate the feedback. Truly. :)

I've gotten a bit out of hand.

Just to give you guys an update on what I currently have sitting on various windowsills:

12 cherry tomato plants
16 jalapeno plants
1 ghost pepper (and counting? it just sprouted this morning)
13 sweet bell pepper plants
10 lemon seedlings
2 habaneros
5 succulents (Dave had babies...)
1 orchid
1 calamondin tree

oof. I really should have known better than to plant entire seed packets :)

:)

Life is chaos.

EDIT: AND STILL NO LIMES@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Just for a quick update:

We now have two ghost pepper sprouts. I'd gotten a grow kit for my birthday (Early/mid March) and after sowing, I've lovingly watched over it since. Nothing sprouted. Not even a hint! No effort or anything!

Then my husband takes the pot, chucks it in the airing cupboard, for one (1) night and BOOM. A sprout.

wtf???????

I bought 3 very nice healthy well established lavender plants from B&Q few days ago and they were great. Doing well and so forth. Gave 1 to my Brother and it's doing great still. Sadly my 2 are dead as door nails lol. Not a clue what heppened. 1 day they were nice and happy and in the morning dead all shrivled up bereft of life. Stiff, no more. Dead as a dodo. :P

Not happy but nothing I can do. So bought 4 more smaller plants to replace them. See what these do. If these 4 die I'll be pissed.

I love lavender and each year expanding my stock. :P Comprehensive Account Security

Lavender is really lovely. I have a very large ( 4 foot across ) old plant by my patio which I should have trimmed to stop it getting so big. Too late now because pruning back into old wood doesn't work, that part doesn't regrow. I also have 2 different smaller varieties but they don't seem to be very happy, they don't produce many flowers.

My dog keeps walking all over my rhubarb and eating the bark. I'll have to fence it off better then I have done. Today it will need doing.

Also I've ordered 3 Gooseburry plants from Amazon as I can't get in shops for the other side of my rhubarb. Just need some decking to make a small raised bed for them. Then 1 bag of compst and 2 bags of bark to keep weeds away. Have the membrane to keep the weeds off.

Can't wait to pick some rhubarb and pick some goosegogs. I love both.

Pictures soon. :P Comprehensive Account Security
