Thats ok then
I have noticed that they don't go after the sparkler variety, so I might stick mainly to these in future.Comment

I always find it useful to plant at least a couple of varieties- as the weather is different every year and consequently one variety may do better than another the following year.
Don't chuck any - that variety may do better in a drought situation for example

That MIGHT only be because they prefer the other kind. If you only grow Sparkler, they might decide to eat them after allOriginally posted by hamesy View PostAll gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.Comment
