    Hi All, I've just a picked a packet of seed up for the above from our local farm shop; they were being sold off at 50p, so thought I'd get them to pop in the fridge for next year (presuming its too late now this year).

    Just wondered if anyone grows it and has any tips/advice?

    Thanks :D :thumb:

    I`m growing them for a client, and to be honest I`m not impressed. They need to be picked when they are under an inch long, for a start. To get a decent crop for even 2 people I reckon you need several hundred plants. A waste of time, money and resources in my opinion.:dbgrtmb:
