I'm putting my bets on Ernie's seedling. Also seen Hector's, Benty's mate (bottom left of picture) and Brokey McBrokeroot (also know as the runt)


Throwing all the seeds in seems to have given me a bit of a crop, there was another in here, but he's the runt of the other picture


And Say hello to Basil :)

Hector and Ernie's are in for the night. The other 2 are staying inside for a while yet.

Put em outside during the day for every day before you go.

They'll harden up enough to survive..........provided it rains :-)

Do you think so bigleggy? I might just have to do that anyway.

Yep, all risk of frost has gone. As long as they get some water while you are away they should be fine :-)

Most of mine have survived being outside while I was away for a few days. 3 have been eaten but I still have about 10 left.
