that's a huge amount Flo Very Happy

I planted about half a dozen but close together (ish)

I wish the seed companies would stop breeding massive plants which are all leaf and no tops. Same with caulis and cabbage. Ruddy great monsters designed for who knows where Rolling Eyes

Not small back gardens and the average plot that's for sure. Been grappling with dirty great wsb today. Foliage larger than a small bungalow but not one ruddy scerrick to eat Evil or Very Mad
