    Easy to grow in the greenhouse. Never tried it outside, but it depends on the sort of weather you are getting :)

    Hi Ryan,

    I wouldn't try it this year if I were you, it needs a very long growing season & untill about 30 years ago we would be pushing it to grow it in the south of the uk.

    If you wait till the spring & select a variety that has been bred for cooler climes you might get a crop in a good summer, but its a lot of work to go thru with no guarantee of sucess up there.
