I grew Hyred last year and won a bottle of champagne at our flower and produce show as they were huge and caught the eye of the local waitrose manager when he was choosing his 'best in show'  8)

Oh dear, I wish I hadn't read that  ::)

Why????

Kea, now I have a reason (justification)  to buy them.

Great crop there Donny  :)


aahhhh!  ;D

I had good results from Red Brunswick grown from seed last year
Work well for me from seed too,  otherwise Red Barron from sets.

Still using mine I have lost some but not really any worse than electric and my storage conditions aren't that great.
