I can't find when I actually sowed these. Some time in October or November, I think. Anyhow, they've come through the autumn and are growing ok. Some of the leaves have been eaten. It's very mild, so the pests are surviving. Last week I took off the worse leaves in the hope of taking out the pests. This week I covered them with a plastic cloche to keep them warm as it has been forcasting frosts and snow.
