My favourite also Arry.

 

Have you ever try it in batter (Tempura style). Did it with some bream fillets one day its proper restaurant food. I grow Rudolph, Red Arrow,Cardinal and Claret F1 to spread the season. Thompson & Morgan did a packet with four varieties in it last year but the seed was mixed but gave you a season fro November to May.

Cheers Arry

Normally Easter hols I dig the allotment over, I’ve not been down there as it’s either raining or to wet  and can't be arsed with the soil sticking to my boots and tools,ive not even drove down to have a look as it would mean the car getting muddy as access tracks by side of the River Monnow . 

Hopefully get down there somewhen before it gets to overgrown.
