    I'm loving these at the moment and wondered if anyone else grows them?

    I've grown some for the first time from seed this year, but they are looking quite small at the moment.
    Not that many leaves!!
    They're still in pots at the moment as they have been hardening, but I will be putting them in their final positions within the next couple of days so I hope they pick up.

    Oh super Bashy! Be careful of slugs and snails. I put some babies out side last week - I blinked and the little blighters had eated half of them. (They were in pots on top of a table :( ) Anyway I've brought them in and luckily they have made a miracle recovery.

    Well done. Ive never managed to grow from seeds. Ive been more successful with Lupins, but they all get eaten by bugs. C'est la vie !!

    I had a few in the garden, but they disappeared. I've grown from seed the first time this year too, thought they were all going to die at one point, it's been touch and go! But they've picked up a bit now. Still too tiny to go in the garden.
