This sounds like one of the varieties my dad gave me seeds for. He originally got them from a friend who had forgotten what the were. Mom and dad just call them "The Big Ones."

Can you tell me what the seeds look like? I searched on line and found many listings for Kwintus (found out it's also called Northeaster and Early Riser), but only pictures of the pods.
