Not only can you grow varieties that youd be hard pushed to find in any greengrocer, but you can grow the more expensive fruit, saving money along the way. Included in my fruit range are varieties Ive grown for years on my allotment and in my garden, all of which are firm favourites of mine, my family and friends. All the varieties grow really well on an allotment and in a garden.The variety Ben More is a larger plant which gives you more fruit from the same footprint as a smaller plant, so one plant will give you copious amounts of fruit to enjoy.
