carolyn,

i looked at the sandhill 2008 catalog (specifically and carefully as they list prue now) but no wes. it has been years since you sent prue seeds to linda, any reason why tgs doesn't list prue? it'd be great if tgs listed both prue and wes and stop wasting space on black cherry.

****

I''ll ignore your comment about Black Cherry, ahem, but will tell you that I had a long phone chat with Linda at TGS this morning.

I brought up Prue and she recognized the name immediately. She said that Vince had grown it for trial, and that was at least two years ago, maybe three now, since I think he passed away about two years ago, and she said that he got it planted too late and it really didn't perform well at all.

So I told her I'd send more seeds along with Wes and the several other varieties I'm sending her for trial. She sows seed about now, so I have to take a break in filling seed packs for my seed offer and get to it ASAP.
