I've been growing it yearly since about 2012, and while it doesn't keep very long, I've also had great harvests.

Where do you buy your plants??

I start them from seeds in mid-February and plant out the seedlings early in the spring. I've been working off of a large seed packet I bought, but I don't recall from where at the moment. Germination this year was spotty probably due to the age of the seeds, but I anticipated that and sowed plenty of extras. New seeds are on my shopping list for next year.

I have grown it for many years. I get the plants from Dixondale farms. Very reliable.
