I planted mine two years ago and had a small harvest last year. This year I'm hoping for big things but so far no shoots appearing Regards Mandy Back to top bird_babe Joined: 20 Apr 2005 Posts: 473 Location: wales Posted: Wed Apr 27, 2005 8:38 am    Post subject: keeping my fingers crossed for you Back to top Deb_Moderator Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 3661 Posted: Wed Apr 27, 2005 8:46 am    Post subject: Good news BB! Mandy...mine are not sending up shoots yet either. Guess we are both going to be playing the wait and see game.

It looked a rather long and slightly complicated process to me in my veggie books and said you couldn't move it once established Is that right. I've not tried it, but wouldn't mind giving it a go...

When it gets moved you basically start over from scratch getting the crop to fill in. But, the work and wait is worth it.
