I have:
First Early
Setton
and I am waiting for Marshalls New Fen Globe and Kelsae plants ordered from Fothergills.
A bit of overkill again.
At least I know if its my methods that succeed or fail when I give away to neighbouring plots.
It will be galling if I buy them and they get better results.
Sometimes it is better to keep your mouth shut and be suspected of knowing nothing than opening it and proving it.

All the way from my allotment in beautiful Derbyshire. I'm in year 3 of my allotment and wish I'd caught the bug years ago, things growing from strength to strength

Thats a good price.

I get mine loose at a local garden centre - I get about 50 sets for about £1.70-£2
