Mine are destined for hanging tubs so they should be ok when they start. Will look nice to have a wall of flowers.

It's all about the flowers hehe no sign yet, can you remember if they are biggish seed leaves or tiny. Just impatient to see them

[GrannieAnnie]

No sorry BQ, I can't remember.  It was several years ago and I only grew them the once.  They aren't the tastiest of crops, so I used to steam them then mix them in with cream and seasoning.

Wouldn't just grow them for show.  Too many other pretty things around for that! lol  And I'm not really into 'flowers', I like them, but if I'm going to mess about in the garden, I want something that we can eat!

Not one seed has shown, they would have done something by now surely

Looking at my notes from last year, they can take around 21 days BQ.

Thanks for that i'll save them from the compost pile

They must have heard me moan as they are finally showing

Either that or they heard you threaten to chuck them on the compost pile

Might try that on my sweetcorn as they still dont seem to be pulling their socks up.
