Stoneware is the worst. I have 50+ year old hand me down ceramics that seem tough as hell. New stuff ends up chipped, cracked and broken far too soon.

I'm certain that modern tableware is built to fail compared to what it's possible for modern ceramic science to create.

The old ice cream brain freeze feeling, only it doesn't stop till you stop cycling...

I get by with a snood under my helmet pulled down to my eyebrows and another from below pulled up over my nose. But then I've not cycled in lower than -3C, I think.

Maybe you need a full face helmet and goggles? Money aside...

Can we not just get rid of the traffic instead?

My mouth 😃

Probably worth potting on once into a slightly bigger pot, the extra food should encourage some new leaf growth, but in my experience they flower and then senesce.

Don't split them, the added stress will encourage flowering.

Might be a factor of living well north of the equator and shorter days (Scotland), but overwintering is not something that's possible for us. It's an annual plant: grow, flower, seed, die.

Better to sow more seed or buy another supermarket pot and pot in on straight away so it never gets a chance to be stressed by lack of nutrients.

Tried to grow them in our greenhouse and failed. (Scotland)

No idea where to buy them, just pointing they're quite hard to grow here.

Ours go into the recycling. Not sure what they get recycled into. Have a vague memory of them getting shredded and mixed with resin to make insulation boards.
