I couldn't resist any more, so I dug up one of my first early ("Maris

so I didn't know quite what to expect.
When had you planted them?
11th March.
Was a bit touch & go with frost in the week of 19th-25th March, but they
hadn't shown above the soil by then and we haven't had any frost here
since they did first show (5th April).
