    Are amazing!! I always grow aquadulce and usually bung them in about October - November to go through the winter. This years crop is not only looking really healthy and well grown but I've also never seen them flower as much as they have this year. Literally covered with flowers. If they all set seed then I should be set for a bumper crop :). I guess that the winter was a lot kinder and spring a lot warmer than last year so they've got off to an amazing start. That's all - just wanted to boast really!!

        I've never grown them before, and planted mine end of October. Like yours they are looking really healthy an covered in flowers.
