Re: Re: Ks. State Fair Results


Russ, thank you for the response.  Gordon was nice enough to send me some
seeds this year and I grew a 906 Tanner which succumbed to the hot
temperatures.  Initially Polly thought the man's name was Turner and I was
just curious if anyone had the answer to the heat.  Sustained temperatures in
the mid 90's are hard to deal with, even with shading and watering.  Does
anyone have any suggestions--------other than move North?  Charles

  Charles,

  The person you are looking for is Gordan Tanner, a nice man but probably
  would not approve of Polly drinking her suds :)
