Re: My Rowan

Well done Mups ... who's a clever girl!

I hope they grow well, especially as they came from the mother tree.

Thanks for letting me know longdogs.
Blue, I was joking but I would have liked the awful man, who knocked Mups tree down, to have been crushed by somebody's fingers....he was driving after he had been drinking and he was not insured to drive the car.

Hope that explains what I was saying!

Hope your vision is still improving

Re: My Rowan

On my allotment we have a walnut tree

Two years ago I took all the walnuts of it there where loads((none last year)

For some reason that I cant understand but last year in my greenhouse in an unused pot something started growing... dug it up and its a walnut shell that had started to grow.

Left it to this year and transplanted to my allotment and its going great guns nearly a foot high.

I read somewhere how to grow a new one.

Then I squashed them gently between finger and thumb until the insides oozed out, then planted these in 2 pots of gritty compost, and popped in my little poly grow house over winter just watering if they got too dry.

I've only gone and done it haven't I ...... Success!!
I've got about 5 little tiny Rowans growing.
I'm really chuffed to bits.


Hey! Brilliant Mups, well done

Re: My Rowan

Well done, Mups. Did you know that Rowan trees will keep you safe from witches and evil spirits? Plus the berries make lovely sauce to go with Chicken or Turkey - if the blackbirds don't harvest them all for you!

Re: My Rowan

well done - perhaps we'll have to call you 'Miss Rowan the rowan grower' from now on - you must feel a little nearer to God perhaps??

Fantastic. I didn't even know they grew from the walnut.
