Fantastic! Thank you guys....close to a Monstera then, but their labelling could have been somewhat better! I shall try very hard to keep up the good work (although I suspect the plant's success is more down to the plant itself than to anything I'm doing!! - maybe it just likes my windowsill.....) Thanks again - I'm off to read up on it now :-)

Agree it looks wilted, so might be getting too much hot sun and/or too little water for a new planting. It also looks like your soil is hard clay, which very few plants will tolerate. Working in lots of compost will help with all your growing. I recommend checking out Annie’s Annuals and Perennials website (link below) for good tips on how to amend your soil.

I like your house color as it is; very craftsman-like. I do think the garage doors should be painted so that they do not stand out and call attention to themselves. I think your front porch is lovely and should be where our eyes want to go. I definitely agree with Patricia...white is not a good choice for this home.

That is not a maple stile and rail. The texture is all particle board. Nothing is sticking to it either. Are these supposed to be manufactured in house, or are they RTA that they ordered from China?
