Re: CULT:Arilbreds for the north

Thanks everybody for the information, that yes, indeed aril breds 
grow in the north. Or at least for some people. I'm going to give it 
a try this year; see what happens. Maybe VOLUNTEER FIREMAN and one or 
two others. I'll let you  know if they all croak unceremoniously, 
prove to be slug candy, or simply refuse to bloom.
Anybody know of a particularly tough-to-kill one, pass the name along.
