Joseph, I have no doubt that the growing conditions factored in. It rained multi-inch rains almost every day during a six week period back in late April - the first week of June here. I haven't harvested the seeds but they are no longer in our garden. I am undecided on what to do with them yet. I guess I could save some seeds and plant them on the other end of our 10 acres. In our garden, I want to grow a tried and true variety for our area next spring/summer (Emerald Velvet or Crimson Spineless) We also have three varieties that Worth sent to us that I want to attempt to grow. The seeds are from 2007. I'm sure that I can figure out some place/s to plant other varieties without them crossing. It would make me happy to be able to send Worth new seeds from those he sent to us.
