I can e-mail pics of last years crop and indeed this years which is still on the vine, if evidence is required. They are totally pest free as a crop and the flowers are pretty as well as the large leaves. I would recommend them to anyone who has the climate, <b>AND THE SPACE</b> as they are like pythons squirming all over the place with 30 ft. of growth per annum if allowed to run riot. They keep crossing my garage roof and attacking my neighbour as well as trying to climb over the outside of my conservatory and onto the roof :? Neville Thankyou kind sir,

I have grown sweetcorn in the past as well as most other things. Among the many hats I wear is Professional Gardener. I worked in Peoples Park in the mid to late sixties and have been an amateur from about the age of 8. Locally, (here), my main claim to fame is my annual crop of Kiwifruits grown out of doors. Kiwis are dioecious so need one plant of each gender for successful fruit production. My pair had a record crop last year of 783 fruits and this year's crop looks equally promising. I shall be harvesting next month as a bit of cold weather concentrates the sugars. they are then kept in a cold conservatory and they last me and my family, friends and colleagues until about April. Extremely rich in vitamin C too. regards, Neville Well done Rod,
