I noticed this one Tim, when browsing for a change from Painted Lady.  

T&M's 'Red Rum'

Description: A very early cropper producing lots of pods and very little foliage, resulting in a tremendous crop of succulent 6-8in pods. Excellent for organic gardeners as this variety is Halo Blight tolerant. This means it will keep on cropping whilst other varieties are going down with this disease.

That's funny, MD - that's the one - hadn't looked there - why? -  because it's the one I''m trying to replace because it made so much foliage that we had a near collapse!! And you couldn't see the wood for the trees - or something.
Oh, well - soldier on!  = Tim

Tim,

I hope that you are not suggesting that T&M are in any way exagerating the features of one of the seeds they are trying to sell!! ;)
