Are they still in pots? Indoors? Maybe that's why they're not
flowering. They like growing where they've been sown too. But also,
I would have planted them much more earlier. HTH

Yes, but the pots are those degradable ones made of cardboardy
stuff, and they in turn are in the ground. They're outdoors, growing
up a wooden frame. I think you're right, planting them earlier
rather than forcing might be the solution. Ah well, next year!

Thanks


I have always transplanted mine without a failure yet. However they
are late to flower and mine have only just started to flower and they
are climbing up a south facing wall.
Give them another week or so. Aren't there any buds yet?

Ah, I might be too impatient. Yes, there are tiny buds. It's just that the
load of them I saw in Spain looked like they'd been going for some time. The
weather in that part (Northen Spain, basque country) is similar to that in
England but I presume that the frosts finish earlier. I'll wait ...
