I suggested Phormium as it's spiky, at least the tenax varieties are, as opposed to the cookianum. We need a photo!

I did wear green tights for a couple of years in my late teens
YEARS AGO, on the sites, someone explained how to keep warm. I couldn't afford Damarts at the time and my girlfriend did have a couple of pairs of green ribbed woollen tights, and that's as far as this story goes
I pinched my girlfriend's Pretty Polly tights when I lived in a caravan with no heating. They were better than long johns, as they had feet.
Lighter evenings so I can walk on the beach before shifts. Generally seeing more sun. Winter is not pleasant when you work nights.
**** me. Are you Robin of Loxley, or the Sheriff of Nottingham?
Look out - rangale of deer incoming!
Maybe he's Kipling?
They shut the road through the woods
Seventy years ago.
Weather and rain have undone it again,
And now you would never know
There was once a road through the woods
Before they planted the trees.
It is underneath the coppice and heath,
And the thin anemones.
Only the keeper sees
That, where the ring-dove broods,
And the badgers roll at ease,
There was once a road through the woods.

This is sadly quite true. I was recently having an 'extended lunch' with a hot date (The Times Monday sports pullout), when I received a call via the dreaded Teams. I'd been waiting nearly 10 minutes to be served by some distracted STRUMPET, who'd just spent a slab of my lunch hour serving a wobbly blue-rinse coffin-dodger with some green herbal tea (which - by the way - will shortly become ILLEGAL in pubs when I come to power).
Anyways, "Marquis" (I'm not joking) was advised I was otherwise engaged - it was ten past one FFS - and I would get back to him later. Possibly.
I've forgotten my point.

Variegated crocus?

That would have been my guess, but I'm certain I don't have crocus down there. This is going to end up really embarrassing

Photos unfortunately not too helpful. They're not Phormiums! Ornamental grass - Miscanthus? Keep us all posted as they grow and perhaps post another photo in a week's time if no one gets it?No, these are bulbs that have come up in the last few weeks but aren't flowering yet, I really should know

My first proper guess is Chinadoxa luciliae, although they're not varieagated.

My next guess as they have variegation, is Crocus speciosus. If you had autmun flowering Crocusses, and they flowered last autumn, they won't flower this spring. They just send up leaves after they've flowered.No, these are bulbs that have come up in the last few weeks but aren't flowering yet, I really should know

Any of you green fingers chaps give some advice please?
I had a Jalapeno plant last summer i was going to over winter. Completely forgot and just kept watering it (inside window sill warm room) . I now have loads of flowers and fruit already !
Is it likely to yield a good crop or are they going to be naff as not wintered correctly
Thanks

The moment I looked at your link, it dawned on me - Star of Bethlehem, Ornithogalum umbellatum. I have had some there for the last few years and have just read how they can take over so I'm guessing that I hadn't noticed the 'clumps' previous years but they are getting bigger year on year.
Apparently also known as dove's dung

Great. It seems we got there? Post a photo on here, if and when they flower.The moment I looked at your link, it dawned on me - Star of Bethlehem, Ornithogalum umbellatum.

Down to Sunny Bognor this morning to do some work for the Town Council - loads of crocus out as well as a few daffodils - hopefully Winter has packed its Bags...
