Well hello George, as I started the Gigandes search on here may I say hello..

I grew these for many years from seeds I bought in Greece,I kept seeds and kept them going for may years growing them here in Canada and the UK. Sadly a problem occured and I did not sow any for about 4 years, then last year my seeds no longer germinated.

I have found many of them over the last couple of years but so far they have not been the size of my original ones. As you know they are graded by size in Greece and it is the Elephant ones I am looking for.

I have sent for some of yours and am hoping they are the size I am looking for, if not then I guess we make Plaki again!!

Thank you for coming on the forum it is great to meet you.
