[Small pumpkin]

Yeah go on then
Very exciting

[Snadger]

I'll say it for you then, Snadger - Jay-ell is odd - even odder than me - but not as odd as you.

Gee thanks VC............and Merry Christmas to you too!

[Snadger]

I don't think I'm mad enough to try growing bananas up here. Those beetroot look very pretty . I'm having a year off from beetroot growing next year.
Looking forward to the C list tomorrow


Not guilty! I did send flower delivery to the wrong house

Jays got a banana palm!

That's more like it. Haven't got a clue what most of them are !!
The pea tree is interesting, but not sounding overly appetising.
Going off to do a bit of googling for the other things.

[Thelma Sanders]

Crambe Cordifolia is a good tall flowering perennial, for the back of a border, but I really wouldn't suggest eating it Yuk!

[Small pumpkin]

Now I've got half a clue about what some of them are. A couple more things probably not advisable for me to try to grow up here!
Celtuce sounds quite interesting. It has been bookmarked for a later date.

Crambe Cordifolia That looks big and like Thelma said, doesn't look very edible. The site I found it on didn't mention eating it at all either. Let us know what it's like

"the Itch"??

I just had to click on the link to find out what precise Itch they were talking about. The seven-year one or what? Anyway, just itching and nothing more specific. I was disappointed, I have to say. Looks very pretty, though.

[Thelma Sanders]

Yes, a cure for itch - The Itch makes it sound a much more 'dubious' complaint - norty VC

[veggiechicken]

Me Norty??

Never ..................

Yes quite!! I didn't like to ask

[veggiechicken]

Sometimes I worry about you! Thelma made it "The Itch" - not me. However, since I wrote "itch" I can't stop scratching. Hope its contagious and you're all itching too.

[Thelma Sanders]

err - you wrote

Its also a cure for the Itch

the website says

The plant is used as a cure for itch

so who added 'the'?


and no, I'm not scratching lol
