            My Potmato graft (Potato stalk grafted onto tomato rootstock) didn't take. It's the one on the left in the blue pot.



            I guess that's why they don't sell these commercially. That and the fact that it's pointless.

            (The tomtato in the yellow pot is growing away nicely though. Might get some xmas spuds and some green tomatoes in a couple of months?)

              Tom Thumb Peas. I know they're supposed to be small, but really?

                      Gigantomo, don't waste your money on theses seeds. We haven't has a single good tomato yet.

                        Brussel sprouts - Red Bull, seeds picked up at the seed swap from the East Anglian potato day. As it turns out I am not that keen on kohl rabi either

                          After three years of waiting we finally harvested our first grapes this year. This is the lot!

                            Kiwano (Cucumis metuliferus)

                            The plants were incredible. They crawled all over the place until they covered an area that would have sufficed to build a bungalow on. Vigourous, healthy, and merciless. Even pumpkin plants disappeared under the thick mat they produced.

                            And in that impenetrable mat, the fruits were impossible to find. You're supposed to eat them while still green! They actually even produced a handful.... but only after killing the monsters and letting them wilt and putting them on the compost did they appear - fully ripe and yellow!

                            I'll make better use of my space from now on!
