Spugsy

Ok so I want my place to be a bit more 'homely', I guess having tiles everywhere doesn't help - but what I want is some nice plants, big ones in teh corner of the room, some smaller ones on the shelves of the bookcase etc, maybe even grow something on the window ledge - tomatoes? chillis? peppers?

Can anyone give me pointers of what is good to grow and where I can get them from?

(bearing in mind I know very little about plants AND have kitten that may rip some to pieces)

Cheers all...

Some plants are poison to cats...lillys in fact if you cat is a chewer they kill within a few hours kidney failure! We have to be careful not to get any now!

holy shite honest? I buy mrs spugsy lillies when I get her flowers....(2 or 3 times a year that is, or after I've come home at 4am mortal drunk and having been put to bed by her)

Strange really my missus loves lillies but arn't they supposed to signify 'death' ?

Hasn't worked ................

oh karlos! Naughty!

shakh your bootie

White lillies for death.... but hey, they beat car-f'in-nations. I get mortally insulted if people buy me carnations....

Chilli plants are easy to grow - and handy when you need some extra heat in your tostadilla.... The white fluffy thing likes eating the leaves. He hasn't died as a result. Yet.

Madam Medusa

Spugsy

Spugsy

oh and I'm guessing that its way to hot for outdoor plants?

shakh your bootie

If you choose the right varieties and water plenty you can have outdoor plants all year round here.

Madam Medusa

yeah for sure...

Tell her you found out that they are funeral flowers and as such will not be brining them into the house again...They are bad luck if you are supersticious maybe peoples cats died and they freeked out.....

Ask the garden centre which plants for cats or google it. Saw pepper plants at carrefour the other day on the veggy section.

That red xmas plant is poison too poinsetti?? something like that??
