Carica papaya

Seedlings from seed sow last month progressing well 😊

So exciting Jeff. Do you have a conservatory to keep them in when they are all fully grown and groaning with fruit? 🤗

Ooh they're looking fab! 🌱👍🏼

Thanks @rachelbrooks & @susieg The greenhouse will be their permanent home at least until next winter. If still alive then, maybe 1 or 2 may spend winter in a spare bedroom!

Fingers crossed Jeff 🤗👍

Looking mighty fine 👌🏻

Will they have their own duvets?! 😉 they'll be great - have you got rid of the grapevine now then?

Thanks @susieg @nessas & @rachelbrooks Yes Rach, the grapevine has been cut right down. Still not decided to get rid of it altogether yet, but I think I'll need the space for better things!

@jeatacake 👍👍 be sooooo careful when transplanting.....that's when I lose most of mine.....they're very delicate.

@gjones House/greenhouse plants for sure, as even in summer, they won't like being outdoors here.

@drnicko Will do. Managed to get a few going last year & 1 has just about survived the winter so far, but not in great shape!

@jeatacake yeah I've got two still as young trees, losing their leaves as not much light.....hope they hang on till march!! 🙏🙏
