Just re read... I have grown Musquee e Provence many times although my notes show smaller weights of 11/12lbs Stunning to look at and one of the few cheese types that ae flavouful it has good texture so has a place on the dinner table and very decorative too.

Amish Pie,-I prefer Small Sugar baking as the size is much smaller and the texture and flavour is excellent .

I agree with Carolyn regarding the good keepers except that I find the delicatas store store better than their reputation if stored well, thin skinned compared to most others which is the reason, but I could get through to March which is OK for me.

Spaghetti types are the poorest storers I have found.

Sweetmeat is another that I grow quite regularly,another blue , an excellent storer and the flavour is good,a decent size at about 15 lbs with a bigsprawling vine.

Most of the buttercups ahve a good flavour and store well, I particularly like Red Kuri,and the Kabochas eg Autumn Cup at about 4lbs.
