I dragged myself out of bed at 10:30, had breakfast and went straight back to bed. Quite enough effort for me for today.

I don't grow them myself but I have heard from those who do that they are best planted in the ground as they like to stretch their roots. Though that was in southern Spain, where most were outdoors. So, the bigger the pot (or shared bed) the better.
