Hi all,
I've harvested a few tubs of Lady Christl recently and although they've tasted great, yields haven't been great - all started in Feb in Greenhouse.
So imagine my surprise today when I harvested these Epicure. I thought they'd take longer than the Lady Christl's, but I've noticed they've (haulms especially) grown much better/bigger/faster than the LC's, and I'm guessing that they're a better variety to cope with a bit colder temperatures.
Big bowl is 975g of Epicure (from 2 tubers in a 30l tub (24th Feb))
Small bowl is 75g of LC (1 tuber in MFB (17th Feb))
Just a little bit of scab on the Epicures, which I can scrape off before cooking tomorrow to have with the BBQ!!
