Hey Rob How's it been over there besides a cooler & wetter year? I remember last year you had a record heat wave. It's been the same way on the coast of Maine this year too. A lot of people had problems germinating there normal seeds outside this spring because it was so cold and wet. The wind blew off the ocean all spring & summer, but I think we had at least 4 days that were like summer especially the last saturday & monday of august. So your rocoto's are still growing great. How about the yellow ones I sent you? Are they still growing or do you just grow the red ones now? -- Have A Good One Styx >:o)> Rob Pieters wrote: >Hi > > > >>JohnT wrote: >>Oh wow! 4 gal pot.
