Your question was addressed in the link I gave above and Greyghost was going to contact Larry and get some clarification.

Since I haven't seen an update why don't I just go ahead and PM Larry and ask him to clarify not only the name but also who got the seeds first, Baker Creek or Larry, or whomever, and if he knew the background in as much detail as Baker Creek indicated.

I don't remember Baker Creek offering Dester last year and at the same time that Dester won the taste testing at SSE and seeds made available last year via both SSE and Larry himself.

I'll do that today.
