It's across town not across country. I'll be back every few days mainly to use the office facilities at my house. I think you misunderstood me, the whole family isn't moving, just me.emily did u not read what he just said? He is only guna grow the one. My only suggestion is if you say you are moving across town, how will u be able to tend to your plant? Also what about the new tennants?
But how much attention will it need? I'm not intensively growing here, it's just an experiment. I'm thinking with the cooler evening temperatures (around 50-60 F for you Americans) the plant's growth won't be dramatic anyway. I'm going to spray it with some vegetable-friendly pesticide and fungicide every now and then and see how it does, there should be enough rain for it (this is England after all) but I'll water it if we have a hot stretch.
Anyway it still remains to be seen if whatever strain this is can survive one English summer night - if it can't it will be a shame!
