Good enough to eat!  Mine is still a few weeks away, but it had a tough start as the slugs kept grazing it down to the ground!  Thanks to some intervention it shot up again, and there are buds, but they are still small.

Hi Greenwizzard.  I thought they were  ;D ::)

Yes I do have photos but guess what, I am not sure where I have put the digital camera.  It definitely is somewhere on the boat.   ::) When I find it, I will download into my Photobucket and then post on A4A.  Otherwise, all is well, ta !  ;D
