Heartland

French runner beans, Florence red onions, Little Gems and Lollo Rosso lettuce. Sadly no 'Rohhhhkit', just too damn goth for me, those.

And you, fellow green-fingered Heartlanders, what's in your seed tray?

I thought this thread was going to contain a promise of a Good Time (and very possibly a police raid), when the great and the good of HL come to stay at yours...

only weeds...from the weeding list.

Happy to prove you wrong.

And you know what a night in the garage involves anyway, me dear. Though I may offer tours of the vegetable patch if anyone's interested. I'm rather taken by the whole thing.

I'm sure I'm not the only green-fingered HLer, or the only one who'll own up to it.

Currently growing weary of those fighting against victimless things which don't concern them. Do I look like I give a f**k about my immortal soul, really?

Fresh garden peas. 60 days to maturity.

I'm with you Ravey!

cg: peppermint in various forms, strawberrys, lavender and something whitish which smells incredibly tasty like honey (but I dont know the english name. )

All seeded myself. No green finger though, unfortunately. I hope they survive at least a few weeks.

Dunno. Ask my wife, it's her job!

Yeah I'll bet Jess.

Strawberries! Wow, send some over when they're ready.

@ Methedrome - replace the 'days' with 'years' and you've just described ME!

Motz - wrong thread. I believe you were looking for CBPOB or somesuch. This is a growy thread.

Off to the Harrogate Flower Show next week. You lot think I'm joking!

Tis called wordplay, Mr Planet

My daughter, Hannah (5) is growing tomatoes (rather too well for my liking!).

I am trying to improve my lawns with a tight regime of scarification, levelling and re-seeding (and then along comes a bloody hosepipe ban ). Oi you Northern type people, please send water to us water impoverished Southern sh1tes!!

I dunno about green fingers, Dave - mine are more green-tinged as more innocent plants die in my domain than do in most other people's! Especially house plants - I even kill the "buy these - these will live ANYWHERE!" ones.

Grow anywhere? Do they f**k! Dead within a week.......

Oh yeah Jess, forgot to say - your papparrazzi avatar is fooking awesome! Taken as you pulled up outside the Columbiahalle last night, no doubt.

My kids are growing potatoes, as a project for school.

Percy Planet recommends you use that lager you drink down there. Sorted.

Percy Planet can stick his lager up his arse!
Only finest bitter is imbibed at the Streamline household.
I use any spare lager to flush the lav!

Wouldn't waste that 'kin p*ss on my lovely lawn.....

I hope it's worth the effort. Last years harvest was as tiny as the nail of my small finger. Any ideas how I can make them as big as the genetically enhanced dutch ones?

Baby Bio plant food - it worked for mine last year (well, they didn't die and I could eat them!)

Of course, it's easy. Simply genetically enhance yours, using the latest genetic modification techniques. Try Ent-water.

My mum has stuck an avocado stone (which I believe is the seed?) into a vase of water and put it on the window sill in the kitchen, hoping to grow a plant out of it .

So you see, I'm genetically "not-all-there" .

May I recommend to you Drosera rotundifolia. Easy to feed and goff as f**k.

Give us a shout when it's ready. I'll bring the family and pets along to help you out.

This thread has already turned into a horticultural advice line, possibly the first such place frequented by so many g-word types and the like. Groovy work, people. May your stalks never wilt.
