I haven't had time to harvest them once more, but this gives me hope that there still may be blue! We haven't had hardly any frost yet and no killing frost. Thanks so much for your detailed descriptions! I find them very encouraging.<br /><br />To Jasmine: I sow my seeds indoors under grow lights in Feb or Mar and they go out first into the greenhouse and then into the garden in late April when the bed is ready. Against other advice, they don't seem to mind gentle transplanting when they are young.Louisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685532773952211627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9129357734481422196.post-5097024998293882742009-10-31T10:32:49.061+02:002009-10-31T10:32:49.061+02:00Hi Jasmine,
