Well I am much more inexperienced and untrained and I have lost my specs somewhere but I agree, however I must say I am not familiar with the variety.You will be pleased to know you could hardly find anything easier to grow from seed or tubers. |

I never lift them and they survive!!!!! Mind you, not a shoot is showing yet but we had a vicious winter. Judith |
