Hi All,

I sowed mine in in the heated propagator on Sunday so hope they should be up in a week or so.
I usually sow way to early but held off this year.

They will then spend until june in the sun room at the back of the house and will finish in a plastic greenhouse in the back garden.

I sowed Gardners delight, Sungold and Hundreds and Millions (the kids eat these as sweets) and they will all be grown in pots.

Mine are now in their final pots before they get planted out in the  tunnels in a few weeks. A few are setting the first truss.

I know right?! I'm excited to try them. I imagine a cross section of one would look pretty amazing.

They look marvellous, Lotus!

We're trying Marmande as they do in France, straight in the ground, and will feed them till the cows come home, to get a similar shape and size!
