Thanks everyone. I am ridiculously pleased with these, depsite the 95% failure rate, my fave new thing this year.  :D

Georgie - had one raw on salad today, going to bake the rest, but fear I may have to supplement the meagre rations with shop-bought.  :o :)

Goo luck lorna, hope you get a bigger haul than me!  ;D

... and they are showing through already!

Hope they come to something...

Need some summer sunshine... NOW

No sign of sun, heavy rain through night 

Thankfully, i sowed them into pots and they're sitting on a

bench  ;D
