    I've sown some, but they aren't tall ones, or multi headed ones :(. I'll just be growing 'em for fun I guess.....maybe I'll have an in house competiton of which of my wn grow tallest or widest:) :)

    Or fastest, first to five inches? (except Lotus) In a couple of days ago, about an INCH tall now. :)

    I'm growing mine in a raised bed for a head start. :p
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    Ok what's your address and I'll post a random selection to you and you can plant them at the weekend.

    That's extremely thoughtful, thank you. Got any red ones? :p

    Hi! I'd like to join in too please :D Planted mine 2 weeks ago and the "Giant" ones are already over 6" tall!! I am also growing Red ones and dwarf ones for the first time.... they are amazingly quick growers :eek:

    (Before you expel me from the competition for having tall plants already I have to protect them from the ever increasing rabbit population here so if any actually make it to maturity it'll be a divine miracle!!! :rotfl::rotfl:)
