        It sure does, four pods. Pete, the leaves are always floppy but yours looked more upright. Any thought. It is watered sensibly (I think).

        They dont need lots of water, and I think a sunny spot especially as the weather gets cooler.
        Other than that, as long as its growing its probably ok.
