Donna, I'd be very suspicious of all those "snake oil salesman" claims.
Any outfit that has to sell the weird, the biggest, etc. is more like a
carnival show than a legitimate nursery.

fellow gardeners
I received a catalog in the mail just this week. This is the first time
for this one as far as I can remember. The name is "Gardeners' Choice"
. I can't find anything that tells about the company or their policy.
Their claim to fame seems to be the largest plants, with the most and
biggest fruit or veggies, the largest blooms on each flowering plant,
and get this, an apple tree that bears 3 differant kinds of apples, and
a fruit tree called the "fruit salad tree" bearing 5 differant kinds of
fruit on this tree, and a plant that bears tomatoes above ground and
potatoes below ground.
Now, I've heard some tall tales in my time, but this takes the cake.
Has anyone on this list ever received this catalog, and if so,
"comments please"
Oh, and by the way a happy note weather wise. things are looking up,
it seems to be getting less cold and we are having some really pleasant
day. I'm beginning to look for spring
