    Try "Autumn Giant 2".  I'm trying "Below-Zero" too, this year, as it is reputed to still be harvestable until May, but obviously don't know about the taste of that one yet. 

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    I'm still eating and making leek and potato soup with mine, which were planted and sown in two batches about eight weeks apart. They are Musselburgh and still very tasty!
