feemcg Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I've never heard of these (all you gardeny folk probably have ) but I was in M&S today and they have a nice gift pot for people to grow their own poached egg plant - nice gift for chicken/egg obsessed types (not that I know any of course ).

Snowy Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 I've grown them in the past, lovely little plants, can't remember the proper name for them now though (googled it - limnanthes. I hate not knowing the proper name ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 I'm surprised "Ooops, word censored!"ody has done this yet.... I'm tempted to get one, it's lovely, but we're trying to devote our garden to edible plants/bushes etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Poached Egg Plants are lovely, & self seed everywhere too,so really good value for money. I have had them in the garden for years & we never know where they will pop up from one year to the next Insects love them too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
