I do like Claret.

Like so many newer varieties, it does outperform the oldies.

God I have lived in France too long - I instantly thought he must be talking about the wine!!
Of course it was the first thread I opened   ::)  ;D  ;D  ;D

Gotcher!!

Did Red Arrow last year as a change from Claret,never again very poor compared to Claret...the one I'm growing this year.

[tim]

Arrow did us no good.

[calendula]

it got me as well, all ready for a wine debate, grape varieties etc  ;D

I've finally decided to find room for these and I'm growing late purple and red arrow - wish I'd chosen the claret now  :(

Will look out for that one, tim- I need some psb seeds. Do you sow inside or direct?

[Suzanne]

Rudolph is pretty good as well - I usually grow it with Claret. No pictures sorry as we tend to snaffle it pretty quickly

[tim]

I'm sure there are many as good as Claret - for different harvest times.

Sowing? I sow most things indoors to ensure that I get something.



Thats WSB on the left - leggy despite full light. And a bit early!!

nice one tim ;D

Another view.

I'd sown in cells and then transplant when larger... Caroline

I said it was good - but this is ridiculous - much over 10" long!
