What CAN'T you grow ... ?

Whiskey_Golf thanks for the reference to Munty's method of growing "God caulflowers" - have saved it for future reference.   Sadgit - concur with other's views that Basil hates having wet stalks or leaves.   I grow mine in pots and when the compost is really dry I plunge the pots in water and then let them drain.  I'm trying an experiment at the moment by trying to root a cutting of Basil.  I've placed some foil over a cup of water and made a small hole through the stem will go, leaving the leaves resting on the foil.  I will report back if it works.  Hermon,  I've read that it helps peppers to set fruit if you mist the flowers.

Aggie, my friend Jacqui's Dad never bought spring onion seeds at all.  He would sow loads of onion seeds, then use the thinnings as spring onions and leave the rest to grow as ordinary ones!  I have trouble growing onions from seed, but my spring onions did well last year, just not enough of them!

But ordinary onions I grow from sets, easier!
