    Just done the same myself Mark. Feel good but tired and sore. We get the early morning frost, but it warms up quite nicely during the day.

    Currently transferring the domain to my new host and still going through all my content checking and formatting it after all my stuff was moved over to the new site. The domain transfer should be done by tomorrow then we need to redirect URLs etc so probably a few more days till we're up... been working non stop :)
    Still working behind the scenes on several projects (including reviews section). Will be holding another competition soon also!

    Thats one thing I can't grow up here. Too wet apparently. Tumeric and Garlic grow well though.

    Yeah it's tricky to grow here to need to get it in beginning of winter and out before the wet hits!

    Yeah I know! Hopefully, the recent activity is a sign the forum is heading in the right direction. Still lots of work to do though. But, you guys sticking with SSC has been a major factor in keeping it going :)

    Six weeks ago I purchased and planted a DF plant It's about two foot high and has started to grow nicely but there is about six side shoots coming off the main trunk These aren't roots or tendrils but will eventually become main branches Should I let them grow or break them off?
    Will it harm the plant if I break them off?

    Hi Ken! It depends how you want it to grow? Are you growing it up a post or on a trellis? If it's up a post then you'd want the main stem to grow to the top before branching out so remove the side shoots but if it's on a trellis then you might want to let it espalier and therefore keep the side shoots?
