Re: seeds!

Mike & Carolyn,
     It will be interesting to see the color you get on that 620 seed. It
is related to the Mombert 800.5 but the plant I got put out almost a cream
colored fruit, with very thick walls and deep wide ribs.  Momberts fruits
are famous for their deep orange color. You are the first to try this seed.
so here's wishing you luck.  Keep updating me and thanks again for the
seeds. Shellie - Oly, Wa.
