The incredible shrinking plant
« on: June 27, 2011, 04:52:51 PM »
Back in March I bought a load of plants for my garden. Broccoli doing fine, herbs AOK, tomatoes coming along nicely, flowers surviving, peppers growing.

One lazy plant has just sat there for months and done NOTHING. Now it is getting SHORTER!!

Lazy lazy bastard!! censored:


That's the ungrateful little sod!!!  cussing:  It was taller than the fence when I bought it  cussing: cussing:

I was thinking bay tree, but the leaves look a bit too big. It could also be a rubber plant, but only an idiot would plant a rubber plant outside in Nottingham  whistle:
