I grew about 15 plants of Early Dividend in tough, wet Spring of 2010 next to Green Goliath plants. GG did so well next to ED that I will not grow ED again. Heads that did mature had excellent taste, but it didn't cope as well as GG with the stress of rain, hail and later the bugs of Spring/early Summer. Maybe a better Fall cropper?

This variety is very early and grows a medium sized head with good side shoots to follow soon after. A keeper.
