I've got Tondo di Toscana also doing well.
Don't turn your back for more than a couple of days - I harvested 3 larger than football-sized last week! ;)

Thanks for the tip shirl. I'll keep an eye out for any creeping tendency and nip it in the bud 'cos there's nowhere for them to creep to! They're squeezed in between a Custard White and a Black Forest.

I'm trying this variety for the 1st time and have to say they are delicious! And are great stuffed with other veggies. Although mine aren't that prolific :-\
