Well here we go again,good luck to all....
As a member of the EGVGA I have recieved a nice bubble full of seeds...
After sifting through them and the addition of the dance 579's this is my line up.
Baggs 1342
Young 1041
Dance 579.

As I have only enough room to grow one in my garden I have gone with the Baggs 1341 primarily it was the one that has shot up the quickest and the others will be backups.

Interestingly all seeds germinated and poked their heads up within 3 days. I put this down to chipping away and exposing the endo sperm and potting them in warm moist growing compost and straight in the airing cupboard.

As I am just a newbie 3rd year my target is to get past the 200lb mark as my personel best is 168lb

This year I have built a little enclosure around it as the weather was abysmal last year and I really did not get going after a few disasters (see last years diary) until the first wee of June....

So this year I have got a march on and it's in the ground.
