RE: Dead or at least dying.
Dead ? .............Dying ? .................I don't think so.
I think things will heat up here on the list as the weather warms.
Most of the growers that I have been talking to are busy digging in to
their seed box trying to find that "silver bullet".
I found 3 of these "bullets" on Friday..............on Saturday I went back to
my
seed box and found 5 more...........all of these are from different growers.
No doubt I will find 3 or 4 others tomorrow !!!
Am I the only one having a tough time with seed selection this year ??
Every year the genetics keep getting better and better !!!!
