I am tempted by the musings of a grower of this on Twitter - anyone here grow it? I was wondering how big the pants become and what the taste is like and if the long cropping is as great as the seed suppliers say

sowed some in late august last year. It just about made it through the winter but It didn't look too healthy so I grubbed it up. looks to me like it would do better with an earlier sowing say late may or June fo autumn early winter eating.
