Some photos!



This is Goliath. He's a ghost pepper with MASSIVE leaves. He's just starting to develop flowerbuds. My two other ghost pepper plants (not as big) already have buds that are getting ready to bloom.




This is Roger with some of his blooms. I don't know what I did right when I repotted him, but he's really exploded with blooms and new growth seemingly all at once. Smelled nice though my sinuses did not appreciate it.




This is Lieutenant Dan. Photo taken yesterday. He grows about an inch in height a day, ridiculously enough. He is starting to grow in width though! And he's got some flower buds.

Tomato plants smell so nice ;-;

I'll have to get pics of my lemons up here. They're all (10) doing great! Explosively!

My snapchat is just plants lol

I have no idea what this plant is as I never planted it. I also have 5 of these bush type daisy's very close to each other. If anyone knows please let me know.


I love these. I have then frowing out of a 3 foot tall chimney pot I've had for years and years.


Not sure what these are as I did plant them and ahve a few all over the garden. They are nice though. Great shade of blue.


1 of my climbing roses. Nice flowers. Odd looking and not many petals like other roses.


Another of my this years climbing rose with a very nice yellow flower. Also the smell of them is amazing. I made the mistake of sniffing then and sneezing rest of the day.


White climbing rose I planted this year. Has had some very nice flowers.


This is 1 of my buddleia I planted lastyear as an experiment to see if they will grow in my back garden with all the weeds.


My Gooseberries I planted this year are doing well. Happy with them in my raised bed for them.


These are my 3 rhubarb plants I bought from B&Q a little while back. Put them in a raised bed. The 3 I bought from Amazon are next to useless. If they do nothing this year I'll be ripping them out and replacing them with plants from B&Q again. Next year the bigger 1 will be getting picked. I love rhubarb.


I'll snap more pictures during the Summer. My garden is looking really nice and smelling even nicer. Just a shame I have hayfever and can't smell it for too long. Comprehensive Account Security

I can answer this!!!!

It's called Feverfew, aka Tanacetum parthenium. They're in the daisy family.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSsssssssssssssss you are rigtht. I've been looking for it's name for ages. I never planted any of it and have loads of it. Even cut it back to base during Winter and it still came back but bigger lol.

I like it but they are in the wrong spot in my garden. They are mixed in with my French Lavender. So it's either move them or the lavender. :P Comprehensive Account Security

My Yucca tree is having another baby. I had no idea they made new shoots this way. I'm very happy and please for the mother plant as this is the second baby it's had in 35 years.

The Yucca is well over 35 years old. Thats just how long I've had it.


You can see how big it once was. The trunk is thick and before I moved it it had a shoot about 20 feet tall. Had to cut it down so I could move it in my car.

Since moving it to my house in 2017 it's been doing great. It gets the Sun daily even during Winter. Gets watered about once a month 3 pints at most. Been fed twice in 4 years. It's been looking good.

Hopefully I can find out how to take the baby 1 out and repot it. Google time. :P Comprehensive Account Security

I'm really happy to say both orchid plants are producing a new leaf! I removed the baby and repotted them both in late May. The mother plant started to get a new leaf a couple of weeks ago and I noticed the baby had the start of one last weekend. The mum is producing new shoots but they all look like aerial roots and no sign of a flower shoot yet.

Oooh Meg! My Orchid is growing a new leaf as well!! I must be doing something right.

My indoor tomatoes are flowering, Lieutenant Dan is over six feet tall now!!! I'll post some pics later. The outdoor tomatoes have fruit, but the plants look really sad. I'm hopefully going to be able to get some phosphorus for them today.

The peppers are producing, still waiting for some Jalapeños but they are starting to get some flower buds. Ghost peppers are flowering. Lemons are exploding as usual, and Roger is becoming a bush. Thankfully he's quit blooming for now so I'm no longer dying inside.

Jack is hanging in there since his bath. Haven't noticed any new growth yet but he hasn't had really any leaf drop. One fell off in the last like however long it's been since his wash. So I'd say that's a win.

Interesting. Thank you Tuffty :)
I use a drip feeder of commercial orchid food during the spring/summer. According to that video I've been doing it wrong but its worked for me... at least it has so far. I'll give the banana peel a try to clean the leaves. He didn't say which side to use, I assume its the pith side and not the outside of the peel.

Edit to add: I went to retrieve a banana peel from the kitchen bin but its now covered in coffee grounds so I'll try the leaf cleaning another day.

I tried using a banana peel to wipe the leaves this morning. They do look a bit shinier but they are also a bit sticky...I'll probably wipe them again with water because the residue could attract insects or grow mould
