An excellent variety for my area. Has grown for over 10 years and still producing heavily. I have a bed of 12 plants which has multiplied to fill a 10 foot by 3 feet area in my garden. Very tasty both raw out of hand or in salads and cooked. |

I started with 20 plants 8 years ago and 20 more 7 years ago. I purchased 2 year old plants. The yield is much more than I can use. |
