Ideal for eating straight from the garden, in salads and sandwiches, the plants are prolific and disease resistant.
We have improved this variety over the 2023-24 and 2024-25 growing season, ruthlessly rogue plants that were not productive or prone to disease. The seed produced early in the 24-25 growing season was tested again late in the season with much improved results. This is seed we are offering.
