    And they're up! I'm not after vast numbers of plants as they will be pot/tub grown.

      And they're not fresh seeds bought for sowing this year (because I'm 'carefull' with my cash and use over 2 years.

            A bit late to the party but I finally got round to sowing my Kelsae today, only had 8 seeds left over from a couple of years ago.

              I'm using the same packet as Loli, and it's a no show for both of us so far :frown:

              No seed in the local garden centre so have to leave Dorset and search in the land of the "No tails." :yikes:

                Decided to have a go at these. I know I'm late but started mine off today.

                Just planting the 8 for a bit of fun.

                          One seedling germinated of my Kelsae (sown 6 days ago) so far.

                          All the Bedfordshire Champions I sowed at the same time are germinated.
