Don't be greedy - be grateful.

Shiny is good - dull is gone!! Not an ace example, but you 'get the drift'? = Tim

hi,
This is the ones that I want to grow. They're our chinese type. We can buy it anywhere in China (Hong Kong). There skin a lot softer than the one you bought in this country. They're better. Where did you get seeds from. I just got somebody all the way bring it in from Hong Kong. I'll try it next year. It was a bit too late now. have you eaten your yet? How it taste like good yummmm! :P

Good evening, Yuet -

Two things. I would have thought that the purple ones below were more like your Asian ones? You can only get them in mixed packets over here. But I have some seed that I could send you. They are called Macchiaw.

Second - the fatter ones in the 'Top Tips' section are Orient Express & you can get the seeds - or plants - from Simpsonsseeds. See our recent harvest in 'Edible Plants' - 10 August. Early & prolific. = Tim
