 The need for test gardens is real, and reflects a problem with AIS award
system.  The voting results is based on both distribution and nuymbers.That is
the awards go to plant that most people grow,and vote for regardless of how
the plant does in different regions.

If the system was set up better, then awards would reflect  plants that do
well over a large area. For example, plant  would need to score  high in 20 of
the 24 regions  to get Dykes, and well in 16 of 24 regions to get AM etc.

Right now, a California beauty queen can get a Dykes and be a wimp in a large
number of growing areas.

I'll put you on the list (actually you already were.  The official start of
the

program probably would not start til next year.  But that doesn't stop me

sending you the ones we discussed.  There is so much work to do before we can

properly set up this program and it looks like I'm going to be the one runing

it.
