We have one TWICE the size of that little bush growing in our herb garden. The flowers are forming nicely and our Spanish neighbours keep eyeing it! Maybe we could have a BBQ party in a few weeks.

It grew out of wild bird seed we put out (honest). You can actually buy the seeds and special fertiliser from agricultural shops here
