Ah I see, that makes sense. I'll go have to back in a few weeks time to see if thats true about the seed heads
Shame to hear your seeds havent grown, my partner has an allotment plot here (a community space where people can grow their own produce), and several people here have struggled to get some things growing. That is mostly because Spring here has been weird (too cold, too dry and then too wet).
Its been an odd year here weather-wise, how does it compare over there in the US?
It's been the same here, very cold then really hot, no rain for weeks, then 4" in one weekend.
