Gone a bit plant crazy this past week!

My 3 year old Venus Fly Trap is beginning to grow again following the winter. No point in pics as it still looks a bit shit at the moment, few green prouts poking through.

My tomato plants are on their way http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=595394

Just bought this cactus:



And, just bought some Jalapeno seeds. Decided to plant them in a bean can, just for gimmick really. They will need transferring should they grow:

Do your fly traps actually catch anything?

Yeah, in the summer they catch loads, flies, daddy long legs and wasps. The trap dies afterwards.

Other summer:

I read that will be putting flower shoots out this time of year, cut them off to have the energy towards the traps.

Im looking to see if i can divide the plant this year to see if i can make some flog on the bay, a good plant can make 10 quid in the summer.

That tomato plant is growing well! Do the roots have enough space though?

Chilli plants get fast results. They need to be watered regularly though.

Repotted the chillis as the can had no drainage and I didn't want them to get too big and not be able to re pot.

Why are they still so small?
They should have at least 2/3 sets of leaves by now.

Hope the VFT gets as big as 2 summers ago, last summer wasn't as impressive.

James, what will you do when the tomato plants grow tall? Will you move them to another location?
