Do you have an issue with drosophila fly getting into your late fruiting plants? We really had a mess with them this year. Very wasteful. I struggled to get the seeds you sent me to do anything. I planted them in pots... just a bit later than I wanted, but I didn't expect it to be soooooooo dry here. We had an inch of rain all Summer. When it came it was too little to late. I watered but it was too hot and too dry to produce much and then the drosophilas invaded and destroyed the few that I managed to get to grow.. I hate spraying but next year I might just to kill off some of those nasty pests. Sorry. I know there are a few seeds out there if you want them back, but it isn't much. I will try to keep those pots specifically for growing this variety next year since I know there must be a few seeds in the soil. I really wanted to try them, too. Sorry!
No worries. Sometimes we win, some times the pests win.
Let me know if there's any seeds I can send you to try again.
