Wait until you get leaves then pot on. Not safe to plant out until late May

Mine are just up and through. They make a lovely plant - quite tall so make sure that they are not shading any smaller plants when you put them out. Good luck with them!

thanks alot good luck too! how do you cook them?

Either slice them lengthways and stir-fry them or slice them across and use raw in salads.

I also use them as an alternative to courgette in a ratatouille. Chopped in curries or even in my chicken stew
