Swede Magres - Vinny - 19-04-2026
I have tried to grow decent swedes on my various allotments for many years without much success. I have tried numerous varieties but never Magres? I asked google what variety of seed the farmers grew for human consumption and these were what are appaently used?
The farmers close by grow fields full of wonderful swede which I have never been able to emulate.
I have ordered a packet, and hopefully Magres will assist me in growing what up until now I have been unable to achieve!

My Swede never get bigger than a golf ball, not sure why though.

I gave up trying to grow a swede years ago. I don't really like them anyway - even the 5p ones! Such a hassle to peel and cut up. Good luck, Vinny - you're welcome to them!
