I went to Toms place today. It was a very hot day and very windy. I was so dumbstruck with what he had that I didn't take many pictures. Sad I very much wanted some of his that I knew would grow good for me. Due to my age and not being able to stand for a long time I only stayed about an hour. He was busy and only wanted to POLLINATE!! But he hadn't seen me for about 15 years, I waved at him and he looked puzzled at first, then he smiled and said "Dorothy Parker". I smiled and ran and hugged him. I showed him my want list and he had two of them. He showed us where his intros were in the front yard, and pointed out some I might like. So I picked out five and left him a check in his kitchen ROFL. He was WAYYY out back in the field and I didn't want to go out there and grab him again.
