Imagine walking 5 miles in search of water. In Kenya, children have
to- every day. One tanker truck could deliver 7,000 liters of
clean water to these children daily. Help us quench their thirst.

I can't grow it myself. In fact I don't even like it that much, but my soil
seems to give murky colours which might explain why it looked better in the
catalogue (as did Thornbird :-)
Why did I use it? Well - Barry Blythe seemed to get some nice crosses from
it, and I have this theory that I can only learn by following his example.
I also have trouble with Aztec Burst, and Silk Degrees, both from Barry. I
beleive his soil is very sandy, so he doesn't have a problem with rot.
Cheers, Jan, taking time out from watching the Oz Olympics. (Gudday
everyone, the Olympics are once again Down Under!)
