I've grown the odd one or two a few times for decoration, and this one
is a 'volunteer'. It didn't appear until well in to the summer, and is
now about 4ft high. But it is in a greenhouse (in a large tub of
hippeastrum). Maybe start them a bit later so they grow without a check?
And greenhouse rather than outdoors?

Thanks. They were in a south-facing conservatory from February
to midsummer!

I've certainly had no problem getting them to flower and produce pods.
The pods are large and flat - I don't know whether they're supposed to
plump up much more? I might try eating them this year.

I was hoping to eat them, but clearly won't.
