It is a great glasshouse isn't it Tim, it was one of a pair but the neighbour blew down about 8 years ago so we decided to restore it as centrepeice of our "New Century School Horticultural Centre" we have almost 1000 pupil visits a year now...

Namissa would be over the moon at having that much leaf. When did you plant it, and what variety is it?

I'm amazed you managed to sneak anything into the hallowed ground......couldn't you have a little furtive grub around to see how they have done without disturbing them too much?
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

I fancy a firkle (sic) but have the ones out in the hot box to dig up first... got the slips from a cat. poss T+M (?)... some got left in pots so it didn't get in their until July, hence my leaving it as long as possible! The four in the hot box are almost as rampant... the ones in a large dustbin in the cold greenhouse less so...
;D
From Chase Organics actually... I checked!

Mine was outdoors, but had a huge vine. I dug it up earlier this week and found ....... four skinny little fingers. A bit like buying a lottery ticket for the anticipation, but slightly more amusing.
