So, that must be where Curt Hanson got the name 'GORT' . I am learning so much from this conversation!
Thanks for the kind words, Lyle. I just may have to post a few seedling pics--some of them were favorites this past summer after all :~)
Here are a couple siblings that I like. Guess one took after mom and the other took after dad. Will see how they perform this summer after having a year to settle in after being moved from the seedling bed into the general garden for further evaluation. My seedlings are planted only about 2" apart so not much opportunity to observe performance other than maybe survival of the fittest.... until they're selected and moved out of the seedling bed. I like the green throats and the ruffled edges. Hoping for better bud counts and a little more height.
