At least those are lookin' good! I wonder why you didn't get a bigger return, though. The ones I wintersowed did very well and are already growing fast. I got them planted out in the garden last weekend.

I need to get a message about mine to bakemom (who sent me seeds last summer). The ones I planted last summer grew well and stayed green all winter (different climate) and this spring started really sending up tall stems with buds. Suddenly, two days ago the tallest one just flopped over. The top third of the stem just bent and has now gone flat and brown. Oddly, the very top where the buds are is still green and the rest of the plant looks fine. I can't imagine what happened. I haven't found any insects to blame. Anybody got any ideas?

Oh no. Those are what they looked like LAST year! I don't still have those...I wish. The only one to come back is the one in the last picture.

Oh...that's not good! I have noticed that the growth rate varies a LOT. I planted out all mine at the same time and they are very different sizes even though they are in a relatively small bed that was thoroughly amended and tilled so that I would think it's pretty uniform. Maybe more of yours will show up after all...let's hope!

Linda, that would be wonderful! I hope if their going to they do so before I start planting out...I can't remember where they were planted, have an idea though :D
