    I grew some this year for the first time in ages in hanging baskets. They had a good flowering then looked a bit tatty so I chopped them back. They grew back in no time. Never plucked up the courage to eat one mind!

      I agree. I forgot to save seeds from my climbers last year, but they still came up. I have saved some of this years seeds and scattered some into hard to get places.

            Eat them. They're lovely. Nice and peppery. I just pick at them as I'm wandering round the garden

                Knight is suitably impressed!

                  Oh don't say that I need the space for onions. I'm waiting patiently but I might have to dig them up.

                    Bex...plant the onions in a tray/container and transfer them later ...enjoy the colour in your garden whilst you can!

                          Thick question sorry but how do you preserve the flowers?

                            I am intrigued, I have only heard of preserving the seeds - like a poor mans capers, but would love to know what else you can do and how.

                              So far I have dried them, frozen them, made them into pesto and jarred and frozen that, preserved in oil. I brined the capers.
