I've found them fine for other things in the Spring, but these I got half
price from T & M, so it was probably at the end of their catalogue life. It
got quite cold after I planted them, I don't have a greenhouse, there was no
more room on the spare room window cill so they had to put up a fight in an
unheated garden shed. They are still alive, but not doing much.
