Just raided the seed pot and found a packet of bunyards exhibition, the pack says they can be sown now but doesnt appear so far in this post, worth having a go in a smaller space  ???

Where are you? You do not want to do them too early. You want some sturdy little plants before cold winter sets in.

And yes, make sure it says 'winter' on the packet. Some complain about productivity, I cannot vouch for  Bunyard Exhibition, however Aquadulce always gives me a good crop, even if it gets spotted.

The point? I'm for ever out of space, anything, that can be grown in winter, will be... :lol:

Novemberish, more likely, unless in a frost pocket.
