if there is a sport of HoM with darker PBF and will report on
that when I can grow my own HoM beside some from locations
reporting no PBF. It just may be a climate variation. <<<
HARVEST OF MEMORIES did have very noticeable PBF when I grew it
several years ago at my former garden which was also in USDA
Zone 3. I should think that Zones 3 and 4 (and some 5) would
have the same results. Anytime the temps fall and stay below -20
F (-29C), something seems to make the plants 'put out' more PBF.
Outside of being damn cold. :-)
Ellen (thinking of also getting HoM and see what it does it in
this garden - still cold here in the mountains - no 'heatwave'
yet)
