Hi Chad, You need to be sowing your seeds as early as December (Some varieties, November) and setting the seedlings out in mid January you if you are anywhere close the Sydney climate (I am in the lower Blue Mountains). The information on gardenate is sometimes too general. Also the harvest time is 20-28 weeks not the 12-13 stated here. I had the same problem as you

Hiya Chad, Have the same problem but have noticed the tiniest of buds in the crook of the leaves (closest to the stem) ..... fingers crossed these are baby sprouts .... will just have to wait and see. Cheers Michele
