Here are mine as of this morning. I will be saving seeds.

I didn't do anything but start them inside about 6-8 weeks early and stick them in the ground. Next year I plan to really push them with mulch and composted manure. I would like to see if I can get the size she did.

I will be saving seeds from the tallest ones this year (if I remember).

I direct-sowed them last year and nothing came up. This year I used what seed I had left and planted them in a tray. Several came up and I transplanted them into several locations. One was killed by DH and his weed-wacker. (One of these days I'm going to chase him around the house with that thing.....) Another was killed when the dog trampled it. One didn't like the spot it was in, apparently. The last one is still alive, thanks to a tomato cage placed squarely over it and dark threats made to both man and beast. But it is only a foot tall and so far no hint of any flowers. Hope it blooms as that's all my seed. Ilene

I have some fish emulsion fertilizer. I think I will spray them with that to give them an extra boost.
