Carolyn's Fall 2011 Feedback Data For Seeds Sent

**carolyn137** · September 11, 2011

When folks read my initial 2011 seed offer in January they saw that I said that I'd start two threads about the seeds sent out. The first one was about seed germination and that was very helpful since there were seeds for several varieties that were low germinating b'c they'd been cooked b/c of fermenations being done in too high heat. Most of those are being regrown again this summer but I haven't had the time to coordinate who did and who didn't get good seeds.

And it's time for me to again thank Craig L for raising my plants for me and Shoe, Lee and Craig in NC for doing seed production and Neil in IL doing the same.

In this thread I'd like to have you give me some feedback on how the plants from the seed I sent you turned out. That is, did they give you the leaf form and fruit shape and color that you expected and how did you like the varieties overall.

This kind of data lets me know if there were any stray or crossed seeds although in the past several years I know of only one instance where someone got one wrong plant for Pervaya Lyubov. And if there's a real problem with any variety then I won't offer it again.

If you alread listed such data elsewhere at Tville please cut and paste the info to this thread so everything will be in one thread. it's hard knowing when to put up this thread since some in the south had results weeks ago and some of us in the north are still staring at our greenies.

Tormato (Gary) and I agreed last Spring that it would be best if he put up a separate thread just for results for Kardia Karpos seeds since there are no named varieties there, just hopefully some interesting hearts and as he said, whatever. And I just confirmed that with him yesterday.

He thought I'd wait until the US Open was done, which isn't until tomorrow at at 4 PM EST with the men's final, but I decided to do it tonight, so it's all yours for your thread Gary when ever you want to start that thread here in the General discussion area. I sent out quite a lot of Kardia Karpos seeds so I hope we get some interesting results. And I'm sure he'll also post that if anyone has already reported on their Kardia Karpos results it would be best if those results were posted in his thread so that all will be in the same thread.

Thanks ever so much.
