Re: HYB:REB:Research:Acceptance

I'm practically in zone 8, but the same is true here because of erratic weather and microclimate of my garden (cold air sinks into my valley & hill blocks morning sun, so it stays cold longer & does more damage than surroundings). It's a rare year that I get to see the twice a year bloomers unless I protect them from the cold with tents or by digging and bringing them indoors. 



I don't doubt it. You have a growing season about 2-3 weeks longer that we do
here. I think zone 5 and lower are the real battleground for rebloom acceptance,
because any stalk here after October first is at risk.
