Re: 702 Brock
Often this is the case that a plant will surprise you.
Or it could be that the plant was not over fertilized, over watered, over
pesticided, over pampered because you did not have big expectations from it.
Good example for me now is a Ciliberto 678 plant which I had extra and stuck
out in the market garden patch - just buried enough vines to keep it from
blowing away - never had any supplemental water and is one of my fastest
growers right now!
