This is a handy website, it is linked elsewhere from here, but you might not have seen it.

You can search any variety you might be growing or want to grow - I usually just do quick search - and you'll get some information and pictures.

I am pretty sure its DD that says if there was any benefit to picking them off every farmer in the land would be doing it, which they dont. I did the first year till i heard that and now i dont bother.
