Sweet pepper longevity?
The message
from Anne Welsh Jackson contains these words:
When the snow clears, I'll take a look at the remnants of the hop,
part of which I sent Rusty, and will see if there's enough to send
you another bit. Hopefully there should be... I bought that hop
from Poyntfield, on the Black Isle, at least 15 years ago.

If you remember Anne, you left me two pieces at the YHA in Crianlarch
many years ago. I still have them, one in the tunnel and one on a wall
outside. The tunnel one needs replanting and splitting and the outside
one is in urgent need of re-siting. I will split the tunnel one soon
and so shouldn't neeed any further addition to the stock - but a big
thank-you anyway. I still wonder what breed of hop they are - at the
time you said that you weren't sure? They make decent beer though :-)
