I know they're not very exciting but I was feeling left out  ::)

Very nice!  I'm glad I'm not the only one with more than a few bare patches on the plot.  Everything seems to be very slow to get going this year.   :(

Oooooh they look lovely! Do you mind me asking what variety and when you planted them?  :)

Yes, quite splendid really. Hate to tell you how many bare patches I've had in my garden and how many times I've had to reseed a few things. Seems the birds took a sudden interest in our seeds this year, even scratching them out of the ground  >:( Had to net them so waiting for anything to ripen other than lettuces.

They don't taste too bad either  :tongue2: Sometimes I think some of the less fashionable veg get forgotten about  for no other reason than they dont have exotic names.

They were from a packet I bought from T&M as part of their patio collection in 2005  :ohmy: http://www.thompson-morgan.com/seeds1/product/657/1.html (http://www.thompson-morgan.com/seeds1/product/657/1.html) Planted March 20th Plenty of time left to sow some Aunty - the packet here says ready in 5 weeks  :ohmy:
