I put some that I was given out far too late last year - they went in the ground in August (in my defence I'd had the plot for five days and hadn't a clue). They're still in the ground, and not dead from frost - what do you reckon? Have I got a chance if I just ignore them?

hi bupster,

Have you dug one up to see how they are doing?

Only a few survived, so I don't want to touch those that are left!

Others will probably know better, but will they not become a

touch woody if left in ground too long.

Hi bupster,  :D
                       Mine survived well all winter , covered in fleece, I have just dug up the last one  :'(  Only one of mine failed to make it , it just went rotten from the bottom.
I would have thought that they need digging & eating pretty quickly, & if you haven`t sown this years crop , do it soon. You could also order from Dobies, pre grown plants that will be delivered at the end of May. This is much simpler than growing them from seed.  £3.95p for 20 plants. seems pretty cheap to me .
