I've never tried Estima, but certainly heard of it, so I may give it a
go, especially if it copes with blight. Thanks, Martin.


Never had blight on the earlies, they are up and eaten before it comes.

We had a late crop of Sarpo Mira, also without blight.



I've read about the Sarpo types in the catalogues. They get good
ratings for blight resistance, but no remarks about flavour. How did
you find them?


OK+ they grew huge too.




Thanks, Martin. Worthy of consideration, then. If I can find room, I
could try them in the ground.
