Thanks for stopping by and the kind words. I also stopped blogging for a few months as the interaction had all but dried up and there was nothing but bots charging around voting and down voting. But I missed the blogging and started doing it again for my own state of mind. I love doing music and cooking and nature so I just muddle along.

Yes, the hot house works a treat, but being in Africa the sun is devilish hot and so we open it during the day. We made the mistake of using many small pots initially and the plants became stressed and dry in the intense heat ... so we transplanted to larger pots and this works a lot better.
I also need to devise some sort of drip irrigation for when we go away for weekends as these plants need water DAILY during summer.
