Does anyone grow capers?

[greenishfing]

I really like capers and it suddenly occurred to me today that if they grow in the med they should grow in a greenhouse here in the UK (if they don't grow too big) or even outdoors. Evidently Chiltern Seeds sell seeds but there is a 3 year wait before cropping.

Does anyone grow them and with how much success? Does anyone know of any garden centres that sell plants here in sunny Yorkshire? Does anyone know what the yield would be from a plant relative to the size?

I pickle Nasturtium seeds they're supposed to be a good substitute.

Do they really taste similar?

Tell the truth I've never tasted capers but I do do like pickled Nasturtiums, I've got 4 jars full
