Very lush foliage able to cope with heavy harvesting and actually needs to be constantly pruned as it keeps trying to bolt to seed.
Heavy infestation of Aphids sprayed with MULTICROP: Pyrethrum + Garlic Insect Spray on the 20th June 2009.
Harvested it back to almost the roots in July but it has come back strong and continues to try to bolt to seed:

I gave up the fight as can clearly be seen and hope to get some viable seeds to try again.

These seedlings have been a bit 'out of sight out of mind' so to speak and as a result have been heavily mobbed by aphids. Hopefully they will recover after squishing all the aphids, as long as I can keep the f%$#ing aphid farming ants from restocking them with a fresh batch of hungry aphids.......!
