Mine seemed to grow OK. You can get them in Woolies
Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.

I grow them in 5 in pots (1 to a pot) in the greenhouse with great success.  I sow 2 seeds and pull out the weakest one (for use in a salad).  Growth can be quite quick once the weather warms up.   Quite an easy crop to grow.  Can bolt if conditions aren't right and they don't enjoy transplanting.

Seems to grow fine, quite prone to bolt, though, for me.
wistfully hoping to one day be mostly organic gardener in North London.
