Door 7 is hiding Schizandra rubriflora - Chinese Magnolia Vine which apparently has edible fruit. https://pfaf.org/User/plant.aspx?latinname=Schisandra+rubriflora
Seems to be another climbing vine - if all that I've sown recently grow, My garden will turn into Jungle-like with hanging vines dripping from every tree and structure and I'll need a machete to hack my way through it!

That’s very pretty. I can just see a tropical jungle in your garden. It’d be brilliant.

I'm not convinced!! That Kiwi fruit has made me very twitchy about any climbing. sprawling, Vine.
They always seem to want world domination!

Behind Door No.7 I have found a very old packet of broccoli romanesco.
I think we had one usuable head from this packet back in the mists of time!! Much less glam than Veggie's calendar

Behind door number 8 I found quaking grass.
Thanks veggie

^^^^ The little "grubs"!!!It spreads if you don't pull it up before the seed heads scatter. Good for dried flowers though.

In a unheated prop in the bath
Don't know why we bought a bath; 11 years on and only plants have ever used it!
