I grew a pomegranate bush as part of a charity thing once. I didn't win as the gardening experts were feeding theirs and making sure they were getting best sunlight in the office. I did successfully plant it in my garden and it continued to grow.
I bought a tomato plant for a quid from Tesco in June. I planted it in a huge pot and placed it out the front of the house in a real sun trap. I must have had over 100 tomatoes off it by now, slightly bigger than cherry size.
I'm seriously thinking of getting a greenhouse and planting earlier and trying other veg

Oh, and hair of course. Not coarse hair though, you understand. It's quite soft actualy.
And a Begonia. From a cutting of a single leaf. I was very proud of it as it made a flower.
That's it.
Apart from weary. I've grown that many times. As no doubt is anybody reading my post. See, I've helped everybody grow something. *pats self on back* Ah me.
I will be trying some veg from seed next year.
There's a huge thread with people's growing tips etc. here:-

Just need more time. If I was retired, I definitely would.
You beat me to it!
I have dug them up now as they died off (they lasted right through summer even though they were spring/winter flowering ones) I had to dig them up because it was a big messy carpet of brown with the odd pansy flower!
I will buy some more next year as they were cheap enough from Wyevale.
planted some Gladioli bulbs, they come up and flowered but the Freesia I bought didn't come up at all, I hope they do next year!
Just harvested some sweet pea seeds, we got an envelope full, will try and grow them next year
Really? What a lovely thing to do. Have you still got the chicken?
About thirty years ago my mother went to a fete and bought a plant from a stall. She proudly put it nicely on the hall table. My brother at the time was a policeman and told her that they had to destroy it as it was definately a cannibis plant!
