I got Google to translate the page from Finnish into English and I was shocked to see the variety is now "Lord Sugar" - quite off-putting!!

I'm still interested though.

Incidentally if you want to order in Finnish then a good way to get a better translation from Google is to get Google to translate its attempt  back to English. If it's a bit odd then rephrase/ tweak your message until it can get through both ways and still make sense in English.

Cheers.

With a microholding you always get too much or bugger-all. (I'm fed up calling it an allotment garden - it just encourages the tidy-police).

The simple/complex split is more & more important: Simple fertilisers Poor, complex ones Good. Simple (old) poisons predictable, others (new) the opposite.

I also read it as Lord Sugar to start with.   I do love the translation it comes out as Folding Nuclear Pea Lord Sugar.

Sounds like its a good pea, please can someone grow a few extra for me next year.
