Yeah… I grew it. It grew exactly as described. The taste is only a 4 out of 5 for me, but it’s beautiful and stores really well. It ended up being a late-season variety for me because the seeds struggled so hard to sprout. Some came up as helmet heads, some with double stems. I documented it all in my grow log.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The photo isn’t great, but it’s very tasty! Sweet \ud83d\ude0b I don’t always get yellow or orange varieties to taste like a solid 5 out of 5, but this one did. Got my seeds from Ninulia.\"Orange<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
