What a wonderful pictorial. Thanks for posting the photos and telling us the history. Looks like a win-win all the way 'round.
As someone who went through a painful period, time is your best friend Michele. And what you are doing now, is a huge step in the right direction. I can't imagine the knowledge you are absorbing from being so near to these great hybridizers! Lucky you!
Yes, it's a lot of work, but the rewards you are receiving (and the food) are priceless. Well done. ~Jan
