terryd 8,421 Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Cheers Allan I normally grow Aquadulce but found them a bit bitter some times even when quite young. These are some thing different from the garden centre so I will pop in ask them as they have a really nice flavour even the daughters said they were nice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
