any advice for planting seeds of this? never tried anything from seed before, wonering to go with pots or straight into the grouns, should have the seeds end of the week.

 

Grow them on in pots. In the ground you will probably loose to adverse weather, snails or weeds.

 

thanks ivory. do they need to be potted in a greenhouse then? will inside a window do? any particular time.

sorry for all the questions, but if i get one succesful outside i'll name it after you..:thumb:

 

I think you could start it on a windowsill and plant it out in late spring or so.
