    I sowed them in pots into my cold frame about 3 weeks ago. I have nothing. Nada. Nitch.

    Told you I wasn't any good at this gardening malarky.

    I do this every year with tomatoes!

    Wait - allow them at least 4-5 weeks to sprout.
    Every single year I sow tomato seeds & by week 3 have convinced myself the seeds were no good & nothing will sprout.;)
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    How old was it? Mine bolted too, but not until I'd had a reasonable amount. I just chuck it in the compost and re-sow.

    Might have been a lack of water?
