Anyone grown these? I am thinking of getting some to prolong my season, well to earn brownie points really.

I have some and I have to say they have been disappointing but I think that is possible more to do with my site tbh. I barely had a flower/fruit this year.
They do taste really nice but they absolutely don't keep - pick it eat it - it's one of the reasons they aren't grown commercially.
They do this thing where they grow really bizarrely if the get aphis damaged and I know you have to check that they have been chilled/cold treated?? (honestly can't remember) and that means they won't be affected. There is a lot of this info on The Vine so worth doing a Goggle search.
I'll be pulling mine out this year I think but I might replace them with the same again just to see if I was unlucky."A life lived in fear is a life half lived."
PS. I just don't have enough time to say hello to everyone as they join so please take this as a delighted to see you here!
