kathy, clarence - rats - now i wish i had tried to get STARLIT VELVET and
PLANNED TREASURE. this year for sure.
clarence - i have been treating myself each year or two to another volume of
the ais checklist, which has been helpful in many ways - sort of like reading
the dictionary when snowbound. i am NOT going to trace pedigrees back 100
yrs. am i?
janis - i am very familiar with wasting disease. some varieties definitely
have it more in different parts of my garden, unlike rot which is everywhere.
related to soil texture? organic matter?
everybody in the rot zone - how many new varieties of tb's do you try each
year? many new or very recent introductions? i am too cheap/poor to get the
brand new ones but am adding close to 50 per year new to me (including lots
of freebies), with maybe ?10 fairly recent ones. this will have to stop when
i quit killing so many.
i believe somebody said that england's climate is rot prone as well? what
about other countries? italy, france, other parts of australia?
