hector why not buy it with out a review.  then give us personal review since there so many new varieties and rediscovered varieties out there that you may not find any one who has tried it.  You will be first to tell us the the good or the bad of this variety.

Translates as Red Toady (if my schoolboy French suffices) - what does that mean? Warty? Good for poisoning blow-darts? Amphibious? Psychotropic?
With a microholding you always get too much or bugger-all. (I'm fed up calling it an allotment garden - it just encourages the tidy-police).

The simple/complex split is more & more important: Simple fertilisers Poor, complex ones Good. Simple (old) poisons predictable, others (new) the opposite.

Sorry Hector! My throwaway comment kind of destroyed your thread! I don't know very much about this variety (= d**n all) but from what I've read online it doesn't seem to be hugely fantastic. (apart from its name of course! ;))
