They are the ones I received from you, Richard. I planted them in the ground this summer. They grew in pots the previous year (the Paul Thomson is still in a pot, I need to find a spot for it), and they seem to be adapting very well to the new conditions. Could I expect a harvest next year? The location they are in is semi-sheltered from wind and cold and receives part sun, and I built a trellis. I'll see if I can get some pics.
