Very nice indeed saddad. I've grown a yellow variety from Real Seeds this year but not so sure about the taste. How was yours?

Me too Plot 51A - mine was Jaune Obtuse de Doubs from real seeds, had a few that go to a good size but as you say I wasn't that convinced by the taste, so will interested to see what the response is from Saddad as well

I like them.. not as "carrotty" as Orange ones (?Carotene?) and a bit sweeter..  :)
