Bob Johnson: Yay! The courtyard at school is like a massive greenhouse essentially. Good conditions and no wind. I used a mix of compost and manure in the pots. I watered them loads and I fed them liquid fertiliser every third watering and then when they got bigger every second watering. Once the flowers came out I've been adding liquid fertiliser but switched to tomorite.
