Well Nicos I do live in France so I don't know if you will be able to get the same variety in England. They were a variety called Torchon described as semi long cylindrical and well coloured. I am gardening on clay. Not the heavy grey type but the type that they used to make bricks from! I also have a lot of flint in the ground so I added sand and leaf mould to the soil to lighten it.
Well worth doing and I shall do it again next year. I have also done the same with onions to over winter so am waiting to see how that works.
