Always loved to potter in the garden but only really in the last couple of years, have I embraced it by redesigning our space and growing from seed

Do any of my fellow GTers have one of these? I'm thinking of adding to my #tropical collection and wondered if you knew much about them? 🤔

@hayleyaj It was at Dobies Ponteland near Newcastle. Think I will have to keep it inside except for height of summer but just looks so unusual and I am a sucker for something a bit different. Although having read up a bit on internet it seems that you can buy similar bulbs in Caribbean style food shops for fraction of price of garden centre as they are edible!!

Yes I read they were edible! I like something a bit different. I'll treat it like my banana and it will go out June to Sept 😃 @Hawick1514
