They will need support as you train it upwards and this year mine grown as part of a hedge looks really good poking out through the snow.I saw one growing upwards by a front door it looked good,it was planted in the ground and was cut into a square shape as it grew ,I cant see why not in a container.

I have been on the Nigel Slater and co on the B.B.C site which was very good.I did not know that they had stopped.What a shame it was so good and easy .Nigel Slater is on face book but I dont know if his recipes are.

I think spring was in the air about a week ago but its on hold at the moment,lots of birds at the pyracthania nearly all the berries gone,I hope the frogs and toads in my pond have returned to hibernate after getting excited last week at the prospect of spring.The Dunnock bird is much slimmer than the sparrow and it darts about with shall we say more grace and they have such a lovely song and wheres as you see a gang of sparrows you only one or two of Dunnocks.
