My single Pentland Javelin in a pot is growing  ;D
Please don't be offended by my nickname 'Mortality'
As to its history it was the name of a character I played in an online game called 'Everquest'
The character 'Mortality Rate' was a female Dark Elf Necromancer, the name seemed apt at the time and has been used alot by me over the years.

Absolutely nothing.  Had a firkle around out of impatience and found the seeds are okay but they haven't done a bl...dy thing about growing.   How can I encourage them?

They'll just sit till the soil warms up. They won't come to any harm, and you won't hurry them. I'm putting mine in just to get them out of the way.
