We've grown them for a few years. The plants get pretty big, at least
a metre tall. Not sure how early they could be planted, we've always
waited 'till after the last average frost date, end of May here.
Harvested when immature, the seed pods are great in stir fry dishes,
left too long they're ... tough.

Thanks Ross,
Do they spread very much, or grow straight up? I guess what I'm really
asking is how much room to give each plant. The seeds came without any
cultivation instructions.
