exotic harvest


This sugar cane has about a foot of cane that can be harvested but I shall leave it alone.  More suckers are coming up and I hope they will survive the winter.  The pot is north facing and quite protected so I hope they will live to see spring and more growth.


This pot of peanut plants was planted last October.  There are three plants squashed in this pot so the harvest is small.


These peanuts are exposed with the topsoil scraped away.  Now that I know it is possible to grow them I shall sow the nuts in bigger pots next spring.


The peanut harvest is small but promising.  It is possible to grow peanuts and the pest to look out for are baby snails that are eating the leaves.
