    I am about two months behind where I should be, I only just planted mine outside at the weekend. Not enough space in my veg plot so they had to wait till the Broad Beans were over. This time last year they were 10" circumference, this year they are probably half that.

    Definitely not a record breaker amongst them but fingers crossed they will still be good eaters:

            Mine didn't get really big but they did get lovely to eat. They are about the size of a tennis ball.
