Plus, two plants of Japanese (Suyo) long. They are definitely sweet and they are heirloom (I am using my own seeds). I like them for salads. They are amazing to grow, 16-18 inches are pretty common. Have to be vertically tied up to grow straight under their own weight. |
squirrels distinguish themselves on the thievery front
sounds as if those Suyo are tasty.
I just sowed some more F1: Socrates, Sweet Success, Adam Gherkin.
And I purchased a few others.
Trying to find the sweet spot between productivity, flavor, disease, versatility. Getting close.
