well, they are blind no more.
The tallest one (easily 8 or 9 foot! Taht's just not natural!) is now
sporting a big yellow flower at the top, and has a couple of side
flower buds slightly below that comign off the main stem.
The other few can't be far behind.
It's my first time growing them since I was a kid. Then, in drier and
sunnier climes, they didn't grow a third as tall!!!
Is this all down to the very wet and warmish weather we have been in
the last month or two?

I've been impressed at the huge size of the leaves on ours - almost as big
as rhubarb leaves!

Can you eat them?
