    How long do they last for SBP. I know that they need to be 3 or 4 years old to Force for an early crop & then they are scrap. Do normal plants have a productive life? If they did you could sow a few every year or two and have a constant supply.
    From what I've read they last/crop for 20-odd years.

    Been doing more googling, I think we're gonna go for Precoce d'Argenteiul (heritage) & Purple Passion (hybrid (ooh err)) seeds.

              I got Jersey Improved from T&M £5 for ten seeds says that you can crop in the second year. I got mine when they were doing order £10 of seeds and get one packet of your choice free, so I had tem free. they have all germinated and are now sprouting and are about 6in tall. I also got 4 two year crowns for 4.99 from the Gnd cntr and they have come through ok as well.

                Hi NOG, did you do anything special (heat, soak, etc) to the seeds to get them to germinate? How long has it taken for them to get to 6" tall?
