Like in so many areas, Duke, I'm not the outdoor guru. This year it was a question of belt & braces!

I planted Mini White's on a well prepared bed & they all died. So I followed them with Dobies' Green Fingers. Until a week or so ago they sulked. Now one of them has taken off. I started to train them up netting - wish I had persevered. Or up stakes - easier to get at.

They are quite a bit smaller than our greenhouse staple - Passandra - but are very tasty. I shall certainly grow them again.
