More or less Debidoos. They like it hot like toms but with lots of water. You should give them liquid tomato feed too. Are they outdoors?

Good. They'll p'raps do better in the greenhouse anyway. I've tried indoor and out and in pots or in the ground and I found they fruited much better in my polytunnel in the ground. I grew them in pots last year and the greeblies were horrendous. Ruined them really.

I'll have to try a few in different places.
I've got 23.
Sweetleaf's having a few to try. She'll probably do a better job than me.

I do, and my mom likes them too.
I wasn't sure how many would take. I planted 11 cues before and I lost the lot, I transplanted them too early so I thought I didn't want to risk it again.

I like them too but 5/6 plants is enough for us......and then I give them away.

Mine too!
A lot of people I know don't like starting from seed they just start from plugs or little pots, I think you miss half the fun if you do that!

True, but think of the fun we have showing them the error of their ways!  I saw a pot of sweetpeas at a GC the other day,nothing special but they wanted a fiver for them! They germinate like weeds too! |
