Carica papaya

4 months on from seed. Well pleased, despite a bit of a red spider mite attack! 😊

Hi @linfoster getting them to grow is one thing, getting them to survive the winter low light levels & cold is another (watch this space!) May need some of @drnicko 's fancy gadgets! 😀

Exciting! 👏🏼👏🏼

Thanks @susieg it is, especially if it's still alive next spring!

Well done you 👏👏💗

Thanks @pauline33 The tricky bit will soon begin though! 😕

@linfoster Yes, as I only heat the greenhouse enough to keep it just above zero. The only other problem is the low light levels / short days in winter, without specialist lighting, but hey, fingers crossed! 🙏

Take it round the sunbed shop a couple of times a week! @jeatacake ☀️😁

Ha ha ha @rachelbrooks Maybe I should just let them look after it over winter in their salon? 😁
