Title: Well I tried.
Post by: ACE on June 21, 2007, 16:15:28
I want a nice plant she says. So I put in a little seed of a plant that would suit her personality, one that she could call her very own. She was very pleased until some nosey sod told her what it was ;)                                                                               (http://inlinethumb25.webshots.com/5848/2539077280062644071S500x500Q85.jpg) (http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2539077280062644071lcMHDz)

my goodness - what is it??? Certainly a giant.

Neighbour once grew lambs tongue or something like and it ended up 8ft tall at least - very beautiful in an imposing way!

I'm with Robert on this and think it is Giant Hogweed - The leaves look different to those of hemlock

Ever been had!  The person that gave me the seeds said it was hemlock, but it ain't, ain't it. When I went away there was just a little shoot there and this grew over the 3 weeks I was away

I reckon you are right, it is hogweed, well it is her plant so she can go and chop it down, before it seeds everywhere. A sleeveless top and a pair of shorts should be just the thing for her to wear when she is doing it. :o
