            Shame as that was my only one and looked promising. First year I've failed to get one. Will have to buy one from the supermarket for carving :(

                I'm wondering what the weight of mine will be, this picture was taken on the 9th of September and it has put on more size since 20170909_165007.jpg

                    I'm not sure which is worse, losing a plant at start of the season as I did, or growing the plant then fruit..only to lose it like John.

                    Both are far from ideal...

                    Steve...:)

                      I lost one at the start and the remaining one seems to not be growing at all.. think I'm in the runnings for the smallest Dill's Atlantic ever
