I believe they are large bushes unless you prune them. Pomegranate season is Fall here in the US and they are messy and fiddly but delicious.

These days I am happier with a smaller space.

I hear what you're saying though. The winter blues are hanging on, and a change would shake things up! We're at the tail end of autumn here, and just about to enter winter. Cooler weather for us, but warmer weather for you. I've been admiring your terracotta chiminea. We're about to install one here too. Gotta try using up all this wood we seem to accumulate every year! Make some charcoal for my garden beds, maybe?

We spoke to them yesterday on the phone, hopefully they'll be able to come and stay a little later in the year. It's very hard when you live away from loved ones, though keeping them safe is the main thing.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1117235929033462254.post-4942658606689064782021-05-10T11:05:04.881+01:002021-05-10T11:05:04.881+01:00You have lovely plants Marlene, indoors and out. ...You have lovely plants Marlene, indoors and out.

The kitchen window sill is probably a good place to keep it as it is easy to keep it moist and watered there. I too am looking forward to things opening up more. Travelling on the bus to work this last week has got me used to being around other people more. Social distancing seems to be becoming a thing of the past. I look forward to getting out of London at some point, but it looks like it might not be until late June or July for me, what with working on Saturdays and jury service coming up.johnnyjumpsuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474137444822527332noreply@blogger.com
