Help please........Is this dead?

I would love to see you try in my back, the concrete is 6" thick so bring your jack hammer

Colin

Some roots - like bramble for example - are better than jack hammers at this. Only need to find a way of hiding them somewhere, really small space is required for that.

My neighbour grows fantastic blackberries in a Morrisons bucket against her garage wall. I get more blackberries from wild brambles than I do from the cultivated thornless one in my garden. She gives hers all the water and attention that it needs, I leave mine to its own devices as it never needs watering.
I suspect this is the crucial difference.
Ultimately, you grow with whatever you have. Its better to have tried than not give it a go.

I started growing in containers over 20 years ago, purely because I have no ground just concrete, paving slabs or water.

At first it was just spuds, then because people kept telling me it couldn't be done I started to grow other things. Maybe I am just an awkward bu**er.

Not at all. You're a shining light to those with no soil to walk on.

You can grow most things in pots if you want to but I'd agree with the statement above that it needs a bigger pot. Definitely looks alive to me though which is good.

There's nothing like being told that "it can't be done" to make one determined to prove them wrong! You're not the only awkward butler!

[Potstubsdustbins]

VC you mean there are two of us, and there was me thinking I was all on my ownsome.

Colin

[veggiechicken]

Oh Pots! I'm sorry to have to break this to you, and I'll try to be as gentle as possible but - as much as you like to think so - you are not Unique. In fact, there are lots of awkward butlers out there. Hardly a day goes by without this becoming apparent. However, the more of us there are, who prove that something is not impossible, and therefore prove that it is possible, gives us even harder challenges to rail against. I hope you're following this, because I'm completely lost! I blame the wine.

I am going to drink some real beer now and then come back and read that one. It may then make sense. LOL

I doubt it - but enjoy your beer anyway.
