When is the best time for me to transplant them into their final quarters from their seed bed?
The plants are approx 8 inches high and very healthy.

Thanks

now ................  water them well in and stand on the nsoil surrounding them ,plant a little deeper than they are now to amke strong plants able to stand again the wind

I probably started my purple sprouting too early and they are now 3ft tall :shock: ........... will they sprout?

[muntjac]

they will be fine ... you may even get some early as they dont usually come into use till feb/march

That's right if you get a nice Indian summer they might be autumn sprouts still be nice though

[Balaton Ben]

Many thanks, we have had a really hot summer here and the the weather is set fair for another week at least [micro climate?]

Mine are massive, but haven't sprouted yet. Do I have to put more in now then to get another lot the year after?

[muntjac]

no they will come good ,when the start to flower you pick thehm by nipping em at the base close to the main stem .keep picking ,if you let the flowers open fully then you have lost it .. all the green can be eaten
