I have always wanted to grow a container of onions that are nearly touching, just about made it this year.

It's the central container in this pic I'm putting forward - the one with the apple tree and the garden gnome.

Blueberry croaked it so I put 6 beans in.

Black Bamboo. Two metres tall with, according to the label (inset), another five metres to go!



P.S. It was only half this height when we potted it a few months ago.

Hot Lemon chilli plant, GH

This is the Hot Lemon / Aji Lemon / Lemon Drop plant currently in my greenhouse.
It's now 4 years old.

Picture One:
Taken early June - plant has been re-potted about 6 weeks at this point.
About 75% of the plant's height in that picture is the existing wood i.e. from previous seasons. Warm early summer weather and feeding with Chilli Focus doing wonders.

Picture Two:
Taken end of August - plant put on masses of growth; top stems did briefly touch roof but now leaning over under weight of developing chillies. Feeding with Chempak no.4

Picture Three:
Taken mid September - unfortunately a lot of those top stems had at this point partially snapped, so I removed the chillies, cut back the broken stems and tidied up the plant a bit.
It is reflowering on new growth as of 26th Sept. With this Indian summer looking to last awhile longer, I should get another crop off it

I found this chrysanthemum while tidying up a border in late May. I dug it up by accident because it had been repeatedly razed to the ground by my snails. Nothing was showing except some vaguely green knobbles at ground level.

I dug it up and found a nice pot, watered it and gave it some TLC and here it is as of this morning. What a miraculous recovery!
