| This is the first year we\\\'ve tried this variety and it produced very well. The sprouts are inch and one half to inch and three quarters. Plants are three feet tall. We pinch the center out and strip the lower leaves around Sept 10 for a single harvest. The entire plants matures in about four weeks.We have harvested a couple of stalks and they are very good. We will harvest the rest about the second week of November. All in all a very good sprout. |

| We have been growing this variety along with Oliver for at least three years. It\'s outstanding quality for us has been how well it holds up to cold weather. Last winter (2010/2011) we were able to continue picking from the plants into mid-January even without much snow cover. |

| Lots of sprouts and very good flavor, BUT.....they are marble size at best. They produce a lot, but you need an awful lot of them to make a single serving. I would not plant these again. |
