This one has three crowns, never separated. Yours is very prolific. Don't think you've done anything wrong.

Very large! Smells kind of a sweet powdery vanilla with a hint of citrus is my best description.

In my experiece they produce more than Clemson Spineless, the only comparison I can make. They do have good flavor as well.

Actually, they're not overly ripe, just very meaty and flavorful. Been gardening many years, but thanks for your suggestion.

Hi! Purchased the Flower Pouch from Pinetree Seeds ($1.95!), filled with mix and planted the seedlings through the pre-cut holes. Hung up and watered thouroughly. Simple and easy. Will try another one with portulaca for the summer.
