Take cuttings.
Now is the best time to take cuttings from all three, and they will grow away faster than moved plants.
Plus of course, you have the opportunity to increase your stock of plants.

This may amuse you ... it seems Cape Gooseberry grows wild in a Cork car park !
See ..http://www.irishwildflowers.ie/pages/583a.html

All of those questions depend rather on where you live .... and you seem to have omitted that piece of info

What variety are they ?

Also too much raising agent can cause this, too much baking powder or baking powder added to SR flour or too much egg.
That makes the cake rise too much and collapse.

That's amazing to have fruit on a plant in only 2 months, and indoors! :cheers: I want some. :mrgreen: Actually it was nearer 3 months, I sowed the seed for those two plants on the 2nd of January and took the photo on the 30th of March. Still quite impressive though and I have been extolling it's v...

Dear Odsox, Without leading you into the temptation of adverising .... do you have a seed catalogue name for microtoms? I've Googled it but the nearest I've found is Oregon, slightly more than cycling distance, Love and Peace Jim I got mine from this site ... http://www.nickys-nursery.co.uk/seeds/p...

Can't help with lettucy things, although I dogrow winter lettuce very successfully in a polytunnel, but I do grow tomatoes all winter on a sunny windowsill. The variety is called Microtom and they produce cherry sized toms. Last year I grew a couple in pots, but this year I have started earlier and ...

Yes I have done this and the results were spectacular :cheers: I grow them at the end ... nearest the door, and find that insects will find them as long as you open the door on sunny days. It's amazing how early bumble bees venture out in early spring and they will certainly be attracted to the scen...

Well done Julie, I'm proud of you :salute: Not sure I agree with you about B&Q being cheapest though. Within 40 miles from here there are B&Q, Homebase, Woodies and 4Homes Superstore, but I'm sure that most building materials are cheaper in the Home-value hardware franchised builders yard 20...

Let me rephrase that. Its sitting in the middle of my bedroom. Does it need some kind of change in its environment (light, temp, water) in order to bring it out of dormancy? Putting it in a cooler room for a couple of months would probably do it some good. Otherwise it might get a bit confused :scr...

Mine doesn't really get one, I suppose the lowest temperature it gets is about 5c although several degrees of frost won't hurt.

It never occurred to me to grow half those things. We've just grown greenhouse staples That's exactly the trap I fell into .... I always thought that polytunnels were "poor man's" greenhouses, but they're not. If I had understood that before I would have had a polytunnel years ago. If you...

I'm still confused :scratch: I take all the vegetable waste from the canteen at OH's works, and also a good proportion of they shredded paper waste. I also have a shredder that I use for the large woody vegetable parts like cabbage stalks. When I turn the heap I have millions of bright red worms in ...

My only other thoughts are that it a) needs repotting as it is rootbound Sorry, just re-read your post. If you want to keep it in a pot then that's fine. The old rule of thumb in the days of terracotta pots was that when the roots broke the pot it was time to re-pot, in other words it needs to be r...
