Put mine in last Saturday, spaced about 15 inches apart, not sure of the perfect spacing ...

Needless to say, no show here either ...  :D

Mine are noticeable by their absence but SS told me this:  "They will come up eventually, everyone was panicking at the start of last year cos the Globes weren't coming up because it was cold. I think they eventually showed sprouts in May!"

I'm not worrying !

;D

They often stay hidden till late april or even may but they will be growing lots of roots. I would not be expecting mine to show for a few weeks yet. As for spacing, different folks, different measurements but I plant mine 12 inch apart in the row and 18 inch between rows. This spacing gives a good yield from the minimum of space and keeps the weeds under control.

Sprouty told me to get them in as soon as I received them, which I did.  No sign as of a fortnight ago.  With this cold snap, I don't blame them keeping their heads down!

Absolutely zilch, but obviously have nothing to worry about. Its so cold at the moment I'm not suprised they are sprouting.

They are a bit like me at the moment; I take a little bit longer in getting up these cold mornings! ;D

The last lot I dug up were beginning to sprout - that was 3 weeks ago, but I haven't lifted the last of last year's yet. I assume they would have a head start and nothing's showing yet

I dug some still in from last year and they are only just starting to sprout.
