It's the first kind I grew so even though I grow other kinds, I prefer it. It's great to cook with. I'm not sure I find it stronger in flavor, but I might just be more used to it.Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10354350096358468967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4544358755192295336.post-22878577290833940752016-07-25T18:32:01.618-07:002016-07-25T18:32:01.618-07:00Mmmm, new potatoes and kale sounds delicious.

That might be what I see now and then on some of them.

I have to get to harvesting the garlic soon too - yours looks great! I've not watered it for a couple of weeks and was planning on harvesting it any day now...then of course, we get a torrential downpour yesterday so fingers are crossed that it dries out ok.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4544358755192295336.post-12477271555554868142016-07-25T11:54:51.412-07:002016-07-25T11:54:51.412-07:00Lovely harvests!
