    I grew 'Hundredweight' for last years Comp.This year I have brought a different variety,though for the life of me I cannot remember the name,and it is too windy and dark to trek off down to the shed to look at the seed packet :D :D

    JJordie sent me some seed last year,
    I think they were "hundredweight", grew quite well, but I allowed two per plant.
    Think I should only have allowed one. [​IMG]
