Just moved mine from kitchen to coldframe. Hope to plant them out next weekend. 20 plants, Cardinal!Are you feeding an army? I usually have three or four for our family of five and they still complain that we have them too much!

And when you get home from the allotment all the neighbors shut their curtains and bolt their doors.
