But, if you're in the UK, you can get them from Chilterns Seeds in Ulverston - www.chilternseeds.co.uk.<br />Good luck.<br />goldiloxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08770495557282483217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8187034728413996907.post-90249864958871760772012-09-15T18:35:45.605+02:002012-09-15T18:35:45.605+02:00Hi Heidi,

Really don't know why the froth didn't turn blue, but I think I'd have been tempted to sprinkle on some Spectralite anyway and give it a go. I used Jenny Dean's instructions also, and the only thing I did that you didn't was to get the temperature just right. Hope your leaves are growing well enough for a 2nd harvest!<br />goldiloxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08770495557282483217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8187034728413996907.post-14677168299566205742012-09-14T23:09:50.819+02:002012-09-14T23:09:50.819+02:00where do you purchase seeds?where do you purchase seeds?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8187034728413996907.post-77632394317329956592012-09-14T20:21:29.181+02:002012-09-14T20:21:29.181+02:00Great blues - I'm envious!

I probably wasn't doing it right because I whisked and whisked, and the froth never turned blue. But encouraged by you post, I will try again with a second harvest of leaves soon!
