I tried one in Tunisia that I thought would be good but it just wasn't very juicy.

We have learned to live without swede......totally unavailable ....and to wait for the glorious weeks when mountains of cherries arrive and then disappear again.<br /><br />We have never seen anything resembling a Jersey Royal potato here so we are very envious of your enjoying those. However, Asparagus will come we just have to be patient. Still, we have white peppers by the ton all year round!Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-75577773482113405282015-04-03T09:26:20.765-07:002015-04-03T09:26:20.765-07:00I remember eating oranges in Spain - you could buy...I remember eating oranges in Spain - you could buy them on the roadside and the flavour was out of this world. I love Jersey Royal potatoes and locally grown asparagus too. Later in the year I look forward to runner beans. When the children were all still at home we would grow a long row of them.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-19546596912122065912015-04-03T09:11:25.657-07:002015-04-03T09:11:25.657-07:00Living were I do we have orange trees growing ever...Living were I do we have orange trees growing everywhere.<br />Even though my little citrus grove took a huge hit with the unbelievable hard freeze we had 5 winters ago. I still have some of the best citrus. <br />Navels are hard to peel but if you can try Tangelos. I am so lucky to have one tree. Even though it is no where near the beautiful tree is was before the freeze.<br />I am so happy you passed the seed on. <br /><br />cheers, parsnipangryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-27799453650144020652015-04-03T06:57:26.079-07:002015-04-03T06:57:26.079-07:00I remember craving naval oranges if I woke up from...I remember craving naval oranges if I woke up from a nap.
