Hi, New here and establishing a vegatable garden. Would be very happy to have any veggie seeds you have left over. Don't have a wish list yet as I cannot figure out how to add one to my profile. I'll get it sooner or later. Thanks, Steve

I would be interested in a trade with you. I'm looking for some tomato and pepper seeds. Any type will do. I'm really trying all different types this year so I see what I like and don't like. Look at my list and see if you want to make a trade.

That spray appears to be leaf shine, not a fertiliser. If you can buy leaf shine I would have thought you could find some house plant food. Baby Bio is the most common in the UK. That said I don't think your plant's problems are caused by lack of fertiliser. It looks as if it is mildewy and shows signs of being kept too warm, too moist and too dark. I don't know what your outside temperatures would be at the moment but it could probably take some time out in the fresh air. Winter Cherries tend to be short lived indoors but I have seen them thriving as low shrubs in gardens in Italy. Just before Christmas I saw one in a snowy garden near Milan.

Great pics, hostaguy! Thanks for sharing them. Like I said in my opening post, I know a lot of these are really winter flowers, but I like to blur the lines in my mind between winter and spring so I don't feel like a winter prisoner for more than a month or so (January, generally), so it's really fun to hear what you're seeing that seems springlike. I still don't have any colors on my little crocus, but they're trying! Tons of swelling buds now on roses, and some naturalized (?) plums in untended areas down the street. The rain doesn't bother me a bit in winter, it's the slow-down of obvious garden growth that can be disappointing, so I love that we can see new growth looking towards spring so early! Take care, Grant
