Yes they are growing really well. Better than I was told they would as our soil was basically clay. We add nice top soil and as we dug each hole when planting, I add lime and blood and bone. The clay has now broken down really nicely and with a good monthy water of seasole and powerfeed, we have turned the unplantable to wonderful.
