hi lbb
If you can wait a couple of weeks, I'll send you as many as you want.  They're still flowering at the moment.  I'm moving my plants and will have loads to spare.  I bought them last year on a GW magazine offer.

Haven't harvested yet but should have plenty. PM me in a couple of months if you still want some.I got mine from my local freecycle a couple of years ago.

I'll also have some - faseau in a few weeks. I'm also not that far from you.

[saddad]

Same here, but be warned you will soon have more than you could possibly need!  ::)

If there are any left, would it be possible to have some please?

Certainly!As Saddad says, you only need a few as they spread like mad. Bear in mind they will also need a sturdy support as they grow to about 8ft tall at least!

Thank you :)

wow thankyou every one

ceres and vortex would it be possible to have 3 or 4 from both of you
i'm working on the principle that i grow them next year and just replant them for a decent crop the year after
without costing much of your crop

just in case anyone wants to know why, you are both very close to me, soooo
i figure yours have the best chance to grow on my grotty clay?
lbb
ps am messaging you both
