Hello Cheryl, Bill & Bob,
Amazing... the different places you guys grow these things..... I
remember last year the experience was all over the board with no common
thread that I could find. I actually called a big wholesaler here on the
east coast and talked to them about who wrote their catalog and what
experienced they could share with me and my customers. They did not really
have a clue. They just sold them and repeated what they had read or heard.
Some of our better hybrids on these are coming fro England... that is pretty
damp in the winter.
I will keep trying, I suppose, as I do like these beauties.
