Thanks guys. I might leave the one on the windowsill for a but longer then, it seems a shame to give up after such a long time when it might be nearly there! The airing cupboard idea is a good one, think they like the heat so i might try that as well. JuzaMum, do you think you'll ever get any avocad...

Made some the other day and lots of plum crumbles. My fingers have gone brown from cutting so many plums in half to get rid of stones! They look filthy despite washing hundreds of times. I'd wear gloves to do it but that just makes it really fiddly.

I googled how to grow it and at the moment it's sitting half in water, suspended by some needles stuck into it resting on the top of the pot. It's been on my windowsill about 3 wee...

Also had some with ice cream or yoghurt and the oc...

Thanks all!

I tried the plugs before but think it would be easier and nicer on a living tree. My parents have a living tree with mushrooms growing on, not just at the bottom but in a branch qui...

Wow, just realised how long that was! Hope I haven't put you all to sleep!

Hi all, Been lurking around this site for a while now, reading lots of things while waiting for my activation email (thanks Dave for sorting that for me!) and now can finally introduce myself. I've just moved into my first house which also has a garden which I'm really excited about. I've always bee...
