There is. The chap I kept mine with had one of his diagnosed with it a week after I'd sold my flock! There aren't the same rules ... |

I've got them in the ground in the poly, they're nearly 2ft high and several new shoots around each one.

Four of them have actually come on. :phew:
They are about ready to move out of their modules now. What sized pots did you go for in the end? How big are they now? |
