Yes, they will definitely need support.  I grew them last year and they were a fantastic cropper.  Am going to try the sutton this year as they were a wyvale special!

Many thanks to Happy Catz and Tel for your advice ...will get planting on Monday! and stagger the planting so as to prolong crop so all do not come together!

The Sutton is a bit shorter than most... staggering planting is unlikely to extend the season as they will react to the improving light and temps next year...
