Some have been very successful - Calendula, Alyssum, Nigella, Cerinthe (though think its gone now), violets, Parsley, Rocket, lettuce (in GH) Kale.
I'm minded to grow all of these and see how well they do - I like them all and would be happy to have them running riot here.

Ebay are insisting I link my Paypal account to my bank account. I don't want Ebay to have my bank details so it looks like I will have to stop using Ebay!  GRRRRRRRRRRr!

Just wondering what you all use to feed your plants? 

I've always used just my wormery feed and I make up a nettle and a comfrey soup occasionally for my veg. I have bought in rose feed as I do think it makes a huge difference. 

Many of you know I planted a hedge a couple of years ago and I think I could help give it a boost if I fed it. It's a mixed native hedge- hawthorn, bird cherry, hornbeam, hazel, a few crab apple, wild rose, 

What would you use if anything?

Over the last year I have noticed a significant increase in the amount and diversity of lichens on my trees. I have even seen lichen growing on a couple of traffic light poles near work in the centre of town. I hope that as things open up again that it stays around but I fear the increase in traffic may reduce it again. 
Has anyone else noticed more lichens recently?

i recently bought a passion fruit vine thinking it was a fig shrub   , anyway when I seen my error I decided to give it a go in the tunnel apparently it can handle 10’C to 35’C , I think a few leaves got a bit of frost bite.   .

Anybody any experience with growing passion fruit ? 

Hi Folks / Mod

Not sure if we have one, if not can we? I assume you folks need to create the master thread in the correct location?

TIA

We talk about propagating plants from seed but rarely about taking cuttings. 
There are several ways to take cuttings - from stems, tips, roots or propagate by division.

Please share your methods and let's all grow more free plants.

Just ordered some Stevia seeds to try and grow my own sugar substitute.

Anyone tried growing it and any tips?

PS I was unsure which section to post this in? Is it a herb? not sure, that's why I've posted it in General Discussion. By all means move it if you think it warrants moving!

Anyone growing avocados from shop brought?
Someone gave me a couple last year that they had germinated. Apparently it was there lockdown hobby   .
I repotted them a few weeks ago. As they seemed to of survived the winter in the polytunnel. They really didn’t like it! The leaves all drooped, when brown & crispy! But now they have new growth coming all over the place. I’ll take photos later.
Any advice on how to care for them? I should probably put a little more effort into looking after them as they’re trying so hard to live. Also I quite like the challenge of growing things slightly exotic / none native up here in the frozen north     .

I've never bothered with insulating the gh over winter in the past, and I'm not altogether sure I will in the future, but wondered if anyone else does.

In the recent cold spring nights, like everyone else, I've been covering the staging and ground level plants with fleece and as I had some fat 1" bubble leftover packaging I used this as insulation against the glass where I had tenders.  I was wondering whether to invest in some proper bubblewrap insulation and if so which size bubbles are best, big or small.  To be any benefit does the whole area of glass (roof and walls) need doing?  I have no doubt there are calculations of heat coefficients etc, but I'll go with gut feelings in the end
Any ideas or thoughts?
