I never grew them before. It's the bulb that's so big. I ordered Brandywine from Bill (#1 bulbs), and they are just now starting to grow, and they are huge. I put them in with Miss Muffetts in the center. The Miss Muffet (dwarfs) have a leaf about 1/3 to 1/2 the size of the Brandywine, and the Miss Muffetts stay upright while the Brandywines fall over. This is the first year I ordered from Bill. In the past I've purchased locally. I have never planted just one bulb, so I would not havae known if some did not come up.

Not to easy to see as the photo is a bit dark and the other Brandywine leaf has already fallen over.

I still have some White Queens to pot up, and I'm getting my pepper mill ready to get rid of the squirrels (or maybe chipmunks).
