Overall Taste Yield Ease	Oneida, New York, United States Frost Free Season: 163 - 183 days Soil Texture: Loam Garden Size: Medium - 400 square feet to 1,600 square feet Sun Exposure: More than 8 hours per day
Disappointing results when planted from seed in late summer for fall crop. Plants took extremely long to germinate, and resulted in small, skinny leaves which did not fill out. Would not use this variety again.
