Just down the road from you near Caistor. Did they flower before you dug them? I'm going to have a dig on father's day as mine have been flowering for a few days now but I certainly hope I get more that one meal's worth from two plants. You must have grown a lot.

one of them is just starting to flower, i dont take any notice of the flowering tbh.i put them in as soon as th soil is ready and i usually start eating them at the end of may for 2 reasons.
1 they are expensive in the shops
2 they only have to last until july when the 2nd earlies start coming in.

i just set one 2.5 kg bag of seed.

Planted some rocket in planter in Feb,when I was watering Wednesday night I saw one on the top of the planter it was 3 inches wide :D I could not believe it,going to empty planter with dad on Sunday. Flowers finished 2 weeks ago.the ones I planted in the soil in the tunnel are about a week behind the planter might dig on of these up on Sunday as well.
