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?

Further still, the things are actually named after pomegranates in
the first place. Memories of old Granada!
