If you have a warm place in a greenhouse or conservatory, put them in damp compost in a seed tray the right way up.Dew them over from time to time. You may be able to cut some in half, dust the cut ends with sulphur, now is about the time to start them in the South of England.

Doctorbob1, Many thanks for your reply, I shall do exactly as you suggest

Thank you
Regards, Duncan.

You're welcome Duncan, good luck with them.
