Did you grow it from seed? Ive had many getting off to a wonderful start in my worm farm but thought that they wouldnt do here in Warragul. ive got one thats come up with the compost from the worm farm in my large mint pot. think I'll just keep it all well fed and see what happens .

Yes, it is grown from seed. I think they should also survive in Warragul. Cheers!

thanks Linton, Ive certainly got nothing to lose by trying.
