Looking good Duke, well done!

Lovely! 
And you've really got 'em handcuffed with that wire!

Those look great.

I've never had much joy with Costoluto grown outside, perhaps I should have tried inside!

They look great - has anyone tried Pantano?  I am growing these for the first time this year.  Golden sunrise and Ailsa Craig growing away great guns, but the Pantano seem to be very slow.
