Mine are doing the same Pete10, I haven't worked out why though I'm just leaving them too it - none have died yet! I've never grown them from seed before either, usually plant sets instead.

A feed with a weak solution of Viagra should do the trick!

I usually trim off the bits that flop over. It does'nt seem to do them any harm at all/
