Nabe nursey guy said it's a lost cause, but I wonder WHY? They were
started well, transplanted well, took off like gangbusters. Why did

With the high temperatures this summer in most of North America, I'd not count
on much of a crop. High temperatures at an early point in pollen development
causes sterile pollen.
