Well done! I grew that variety last year when they were prolific and tasty. I'd certainly recommend them.

Yes I too have been faithful to these for as long as I can remember.
My father gave me some seed to grow years ago and I have been collecting the seed from then till now.
They are the best in my mind. ;D

They tried to infest but I think the bug eaters have gotten on top of them before they could do any real damage.
