Re: TB: Eurythmic

Linda,

I'll do better than that.  If Superstition has it next year, I'll get 
it and plant it here.  If it does well and increases the next year, 
I'll save you one.  Maybe my climate can be a halfway house for it -- 
not as extreme as coming from California, but moderate enough for it 
to grow healthier before you get it.
