I've just planted some out outside, but they were sown on 20/7. If you are starting from seed now I'm not sure. :dontknow:

Hmm. They are very quick though...might try it - I have leftover seed, so worth an experiment. Might work if we have a sunny autumn. Thanks MMM.

It's always worth trying and as they are going in the polytunnel you should be OK. I can see tiny flower buds forming on mine already!
