Maris Bard first earlies
They were slow to start but wow what a crop and flavour. Anybody else tried
these? I will be growing these as our "main" first earlies next year instead of Arran Pilot, which are very nice indeed. But I find they scab up a bit and are quite small even when well watered. Probably overwatered? Baz |

Iirc, we got a fairly low yield. I'll have to go back and check the blog! |

Those planted in the ground outside worked OK (Yield variable) but the hulmes succumbed to Black Leg despite being planted in 'free draining soil' - or to put it another way, as dry as dust. Infected seed I suspect. Lots of damage from the local parasites but quite tasty - once the manky bits were removed. Probably 5 plants still to lift. Will replace them with Tomato plants. I have too many of them, Also too many sweet peppers. Regards Jon in West London |
