Hello to you one and all I'm a newbie to your newsgroup.
As we share the common interest of enjoying gardening I know I am in good
company.
As I am new fairly new to gardening could anyone tell me whether it is
possible to grow Jasmine in a pot/container. Thankyou folks.

I've got a healthy jasmine (white flowered) in a large pot. The pot is
approx 16" diameter and 18" tall. It came in a smaller pot and I potted
it up shortly after. Last winter it lost all its leaves and looked very
sad. Around February I pruned it reasonably hard but not drastically.
Spring brought its natural rejuvenation and last week the first of a
number of glorious flowers came out - with the promise of more to come.

I'm not sure how they should be treated - it was tied up all over the
place when bought and I've freed some of the stems which it seemed to
like. I give it occasional feeds (probably 2-3 weekly) and a weekly
watering. It seems perfectly happy.

Which is more than I can say for my toms :...((
