The name sounded familiar to me, though never seen, eaten or really knew what it was.

Got sent some free seeds so am gonna sow a few.

Anyone have experience of these? Are they tasty? Apparently they is big in europe

Seeds smell nice.

Much easier to grow turnips. I've never seen any seed for sale but if you have them it's worth a try. Save your own seed and sell it

Not legal Terrier - you can give it away or swap it (or become an organisation and change for membership - we've been here before I think!)

Since the 1970s, laws in the UK and Europe mean that to sell seeds, the strain needs to be registered – and everything else becomes ‘outlaw’ seeds, illegal to sell. In the UK it costs £300 per year to maintain the registration and £2000 to register a ‘new’ one – which all disadvantages smaller organisations. SchNEWS 622 - No Strain No Gain
