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

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?

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

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!!

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