This is what I got after planting out in September, and harvesting in February I think?

I sow every year at that time, Louby, this is mostly for spring harvest, they bulk up from Feb onwards more.

For earlier harvests, sow sooner, also there are bigger thicker varieties to go for if tha's what you are after.
