Nope. But the ones sown in January have now all fallen over. I'm hoping it's a good sign, not a death rattle....

My October planted ones are still romping, they shouldn't be falling over yet!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

You can harvest Early Purple Wight in May, but mine look nowhere near ready  ::)

Mine haven't fallen over, but are looking a little brown/yellow leaved  :unsure:

Can't be worse than last year's yield!

I may stake them, since they're obviously tired.

The poor things are coping with being on my north-facing balcony, in an old potato bag.

Mine are just beginning to yellow, but only the Solent Wight, but no sign of leaves falling over.  Lautrec Wight and Provence Wight still completely green.  I did wonder if they were just a bit hungry for nutrients, although I did give them a chicken manure feed about 4 weeks ago.   Provence Wight in particular are looking to be a very good size.
