I'm not convinced it's dying. I may be wrong but that sounds as if it was stressed a week or so ago and decided to lose some old growth to protect newer growth. If that's the case just keep an eye on it: you might already be doing whatever it likes.

Alternative 1) If those are the seed leaves, it will lose them anyway so don't worry.
Alternative 3) Some plants go yellowish if deficient in some nutrient. You could try putting a nail or screw in the soil to provide iron, put new soil in or plant out when ready to give more nutrition or see if you have any comfrey to make smelly but good plant food.

I just looked it up to see if I was right... all the first few links are to do with growing c******is Ha ha - I had to type several versions of that before it didn't turn into a link!

Blimey, there's the pro in operation


I was looking at a how to be a gardener type book, yesterday, but decided it was maybe a bit after the eventish. I tend to do things by intuition Look where it got me.


What happened to Alternative 2)?


I forgot to mention, i bought myself a watch yesterday, for the princely sum of £1. I've been without a watch for around a year, as i toyed with the idea of spending a fiver on a new battery. I always end up buying a new watch, because its cheaper. There goes another £!. Whatever happened to watches with mechanisms?

Ha ha, now I have to admit I did suspect accurately when I thought I saw a c*****is plant in mum's garden once! I honestly don't knew how I knew, but I was right. Apparently there's h*mp in some bird seed mixes...

Actually it was very pretty, so I must have seen a picture once and registered it in that subconscious of mine.

To a garden full of daffodils?

Most of what I know I probably assimilated either at the parental knee or from looking at plant books. See a plant, buy it, read up on it, act on the info. Surest way to learn.

Look, I do plants, not Maths.

A timely purchase indeed.

As expected, dwp didn't call me back. I'll wait until tomorrow, as i now have an appointment with sw, who also rang today, thankfully. Also got THAT appointment, tomorrow. I keep forgetting about it, as it is, indeed, filed away. Hmmm. See what tomorrow brings, on that one. A busy day. By the time i've attended three appointments, that will be me done, such as it is, right now.

The hanging baskets are now being watered.

Hmmm, i have hanging baskets and not enough hooks ( nor a drill.) You have hooks, but no hanging baskets. Tea, biscuits and cake? Got any eg?

No eg at the moment but if you give me half an hour I'll nip to Sainsbobs and get some just for you. What biccies do you fancy? Not malted milk please, and actually I'm not keen on hob-nobs ... in fact, it might be party rings and jammy dodgers if that's ok?

Trying to harden off my tomato plants a little and get them in the sun in the day - plants have never had so much attention from me (last time I grew any I chucked a load of seeds on a grow bag and they...errrr...grew ) Also found out today that the big spiky thing outside it a yucca (I had no idea they could grow outside) I obviously have a bit of an inbuilt dislike for them, I remember my mum having an indoor one when I was little...I used to trim the points off the leaves

Sorry ani, hijacking your thread...I'll go stick the kettle on xx

You're my kind of person, party rings and jammy dodgers is right up my street. :rotfl: I'm not keen on hob nobs, either. Never saw the attraction Balloons anyone?

Don't do yucca's either. Much prefer swiss cheese plants. Must be the attraction / anticipation of waiting to see it the next leaf is bigger than the last, and how many more holes, appear. Shame about my scp.

You're welcome anytime, kerri

Thanks for staying around x

That brought me to thinking how i met you. I wonder what happened to Lucy? Its an eternity since that thread, and actually, nothing has changed since then. Shockingly, maybe, i still have no budget for food. In fact, i've no budget for anything. How can you budget in my situation? ( yes, i know i should'nt be buying plants.)

Another day in paradise. Got an appt at the dentist, first thing, which was made, what, 6 months ago? Not sure how i'm going to pay for it, as obviously i can't, nor can i " officially " claim poverty. We shall see.

Will ring dwp today whilst i've got support from sw. I've just got this feeling they will say i've got to fill yet another form for s/e, which will then lead to another 2/3 months wait as forms are sent, completed, and processing deadlines expire. How will i live for another 3 months? It isn't possible.
