Burpee does it again - UGH!
My 2010 Burpee catalog arrived this morning and upon first glance, I thought they were carrying Berkeley Tie Dye this season. I thought it was peculiar, since he is so anti-heirloom/OP. I then looked at the cover again and read it over thoroughly...
George Ball has again ripped off part of another established OP cultivar name and used it to promote one of their (likely tasteless) new hybrids...Burpee's Tye Dye.    I'm willing to wager odds 10 to 1 that it tastes as bad as Red Lightning, another recent Burpee hybrid introduction. Easy on the eye but hard as heck on the taste buds.
