Yes, it's tropical so certainly if our summer is ordinary I can't see much happening. -- Regards Bob Hobden |

I probably didn't give it enough heat. Yes, it's tropical so certainly if our summer is ordinary I can't see much happening. Especially as it needs to at least form and develop fruit. I have grown Malabar spinach - OK, but unexciting - and someone grows Ipomoea acquatica commercially and sells it on Cambridge market, to which I reacted the same way. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
