this cutting you sent me is now massive, it's started flowering, is it ok to leave the flowers on or do I chop 'em  ??? ;D

It's looking good, manics.   :)

I grow mine for the flowers, were you thinking of using the leaves then?  I think the general advice is to harvest herbs before they flower but I don't think they will do you any harm if you use them after flowering, just be less flavoursome I guess?

Btw it dies down overwinter and will need to be kept frost free.

thanks, georgie, that's what I was wondering, just thought it was a bit late for the flowers, I'll leave it a bit then move it into the poly, getting quite heavy so I'll let ray put it in for me  ;D
p.s, don't use the leaves, just like the plant and the flowers

No, it always flowers around November.   ;D
