I planted some pomegranate seeds and over them, seeds from a plant I'm
hoping is an oxlip, not just a cowslip/primrose hybrid. They are both
coming up together. I expected the pomegranates to take a bit longer...

I grew a pomegranate from a seed a few years ago, and it makes a
good patio plant, but I haven't got it to flower. It is too much
to ask to expect fruit here :-(

Returning to the thread, and your style of interruption, you are
aware that a pomegranate was one of the slang words for a British
style hand-grenade in the North African campaign?
