The bit you eat is the buds before the flowers are open so are they this years flowering very early or planted last year and not eaten yet? i'm confused :wacko:

If it's in flower, it's has no chance, it gone over.

This must surely be last year's that you didn't get to in time?
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Well, that one's shot it!

Are they Purple Sprouters Stan? If so you may be a little early.

As I mentioned in another thread, I've held back this year as I think you can be a little too forward with PSB.
