I'm thoroughly enjoying this thread.
I inherited a garden that doesn't lend itself to growing produce but I always give it a bash and have quite a bit of stuff in pots. Some peas, yellow and green french beans, yellow and green courgettes and the triffids. There are a couple of tomato plants just sitting there, watching me. No flowers yet so I'm hoping I might get a late crop.
I bought some spaghetti squash seeds online, six germinated, I bunged them in growbags and now they are taking over the world. I'm pretty sure I can hear them grow. Is it worth nipping off the growing tips? They have loads of flowers and I've seen plenty of insects buzzing around so hopefully I'll have a few squash to spread amongst my friends. I remember eating one many years ago and loved it's uniqueness. I normally have courgette 'spaghetti' with my bol, can't wait to try the squash.
I also rescued a small willow tree and have potted that up. I've forgotten how fast they grow too! I also got and olive tree reduced form £80 to a tenner. The front garden is dry and blazing hot in summer but a little too exposed for it in winter so I'm leaving it in it's pot for now and will protect it from the cold.
I've also planted a bit of Jerusalem 'fartichoke' from some I bought in Sainsbugs last year That's growing well but not for harvesting yet.
Is anyone growing anything unusual?
