Good luck with your new crowns, I'm just about to move mine to a smaller bed and hope for the best!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847700639967844872.post-4840128205855323292013-02-14T13:21:51.244+00:002013-02-14T13:21:51.244+00:00Thank you!

I shall see if any sprout this year. Several years ago I bought the packets & planted them. After three years we were able to pick them but only two of them had spears to pick. We still had enough for a couple of meals though.Jo@awholeplotoflovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03525039817338877634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2847700639967844872.post-21073956469743633282013-02-11T10:09:56.295+00:002013-02-11T10:09:56.295+00:00I don't grow it so can't offer any opinion...I don't grow it so can't offer any opinion as to how I think that they'll get on.

I think I'd have been on to the mail order company though, given that only three plants survived from your original ten.
