Walter tells me LEMON CHESS grows well for everybody but me.  Sigh.  It
was doing better last summer when I moved the remnants from the gravel
field to the new, raised rebloomer beds, but seems to be declining
again.  It may finally be well enough to bloom this spring, but
definitely is below the median for vigor & health here.
