      I don't know Bob, were they sown too early? They are mainly a winter crop.

        Mine often split, I'm not sure why though because we get plenty of rain here too. I just leave them to it, they usually grow through it and you just have a bit of a scar to cut out when preparing them.

            These have split most of the way through and started to rot.

            They were sown as per the packet in fact on the late side of the time on the packet.

            My first year growing and was so proud because they were looking so good

              I have had the same problem. They are huge but probably one in four has split and rotted!

                I use a mix of six scoops of compost three scoops of sand/grit and two scoops of perlite,the quantity is unimportant as long as the ratio is the same, if for seeds I use this mix, if I am potting on I add some blood, fish and bone, along with a small quantity of chicken manure pellets
