I'm curious.....Why did you have to throw them away?
I know crops generally this year have been undersized, but what grew in most cases, were equally as tasty as their bigger brothers!
At least that is how I found things!
We're yours a complete failure or diseased?
What variety were they?

I also grew Calabrese and had some success, but they're a VERY large plant for little return! I don't think I'll be bothering again - particularly as Spain has moved on from the hardly-ever-found sad floppy effort in supermarkets 8 years ago, to many large crisp heads bursting off the shelf now. :o)

Thanks for your replys folks.
I may have been a bit inpationt,but
I had plenty of outher stuff to use,
the Calabrese was the only thing that failed.
I do use enviromesh for Carrots, & this year I
used it on my Onions, as last year the Onion fly
had them all .The Calabrese was called Montery F1

This year was very bad for growing most veg. These need a long growing season and like to be firmly planted.
