Anyone got any to germinate this year? Everyone I've spoken too on our
allotment site seems to have had a total failure.


They are not my favourite, but my German friend (sent her the seeds when
she came here and loved eating them for the first time) and they always seem
to work there. She sows them in the winter ( and I say absolutely not as
they have -20C) but they always seem to give her a good crop.
She lets them seed and says "what a nice weed they are!"
