Dana - thanks for posting the list - I think this kind of info is interesting
to a lot of us who want to know about vigor of many new varieties. When you
say you don't pamper, have you cloroxed or Cometized any ot the 22 you named?
Do you have a list of all 235 with notes on how they have done for you and
would you be willing to share?
