Charlie received it from his father, Owen, who obtained it from a neighbor who had brought it to Ireland from America. 50-60 days from transplant. ±20,000 seeds/oz

Delaway Does It!
by Susan
I have grown this variety for two years now. I love it's purple/blue highlights and its soft leaves. I can harvest it heavily and it comes on back for more. We just eat it fresh so I can't vouch for how well it freezes, but it has a mild flavor in salad.
