A good taste but not the best of years!!

This was our first attempt at growing this variety and we were very pleased with the taste of the small harvest we did manage to gather. However the ridiculous amount of rain this year really affected the crop and some, too near surface, became mouldy due to the boggy ground. Didn't put us off though and will try again in 2013.
