Do you remember which variety they were, Janet?
Oh dear no spider, they are non woody and really lovely , I'll have
alook in my seed boxes in case I left the packet in there.

What colour are they? We did some 'snowball' one year which were
(obviously, perhaps!) white, but they were totally eaten by anything that
went near them, so we didn't get very much edible produce.


They are very similar to Swede colouring, white/cream with a faint touch
of purple at top. They really have been wonderful this year, not a bit
woody and size of large beetroot, well that's when i am using them. Flea
bitten leaves though ...............
