Sounds nice FD. I don't grow them anymore as they always come late, Wifey loves them so maybe I'll put some seed in January see if I can get them to ripen earlier.

Charts has shown ripe ones in august I believe,and he’s much further north , so I’m thinking being southwest should be able to harvest the same time  if not earlier  These were very small plants from the garden centre in June that the missus bought over . I’ve saved the seeds from all of them to try my own plants  early next year .

Thing is my pal starts my plants off indoors with heat mats and lamps and when I get the plug plants they are well established and I grow them on in poly tunnels.

A few ingredients from the allotment today to go in a beef stew;

Finally got my over winter cabbages in;

Copper tape collars, beer traps and slug pellets, that should hopefully keep the slugs at bay

And netted to keep the flying pests out ;

Cheers.
