Last night we had the steamed ones, as I said, but also roasted a couple with the potatoes (for about 15mins only) and they were delicious
So if they roast that quickly, then you'd steam them for a shorter time than, say, carrots? Still foliage on them here, so we're not ready to try them yet.
Hope you find them worth the wait
Ours are around 3-4 cm long, with a few smaller ones, and some slightly larger
AlaninCarlisle, they manage perfectly well outside in the north, just need to start them off in small pots under cover first
icebradley, they do not need earthing up, as planting them about four inches deep is plenty for them.
