[QUOTE="Annb, post: 2313335, member: 25851"] Thanks for the advice about dessicated coconut. I'll do as your husband suggests and try to make cabbage thoran tomorrow. I am growing chives, Thai basil, sweet basil, tarragon and trying to get parsley to grow for me. I planted some seeds of it months ago and all that happened was one spindly little sprout popped up and then never grew any further. I never have success with parsley - even the parsley that I bought from the garden centre to grow outdoors, hasn't done very well. I also have 3 pepper plants that I grew from one of those long thin, pointed peppers (can't remember what they are called - not the hot chili ones). They are doing very well, but it's too late this year for them to come to anything, even with the special lights Neil bought for me. But I have set aside seeds from a red bell pepper that Em was eating (she eats them like apples) and will plant them next spring. I am ambitious when it comes to trying to grow things, but, in all honesty, I think I should give up. Being planted in, or even coming into, my house, is usually the kiss of death for plants. But I will keep going. I have already ordered some fruiting shrubs to plant in tubs for next spring. Em is keen on berries and I'm trying to grow them for her - blueberries, pink blueberries, red gooseberries, blackberries and (really ambitious this) cherries. Might try to get some raspberry canes and, later, some strawberries. I really wanted to get hold of a fuchsiaberry plant - fuchsias grow really well here - to go with the standard fuchsia berries we harvested this year and the crab apples and rosehips. I cooked those three down with some apple juice to make a concentrate last week. It is sweet but just a tablespoon goes a long way and makes a very nice milk shake for Em. There is only one supplier that I can find for the fuchsiaberry (Morgan and Thompson) but they won't supply to the Islands. I am intending to ask our garden centre if they can get one for me. [USER=52911]@maglil55[/USER], the cluster is in the Uists. I daresay it will come here though, given a little time. I am waiting to hear about my next procedure and am hoping that this won't put it off. [/QUOTE]
