Default Re: What did you plant today (other plants)?

Harvey, your memory is pretty good. I had to go look it up. From p. 26 of the Sept. 2006 Fruit Gardener, Barbara Baer writes:
"Dr. Gregory Levin had sent Davis 60 varieties [from Garrygala], 30 for taste, color and seeds, 30 for diversity".

Then, on p. 29 of the Jan. 2007 Fruit Gardener, Barbara Baer writes about the Fifth Annual Wolfskill Pomegranate Tasting:
"Perhaps the most magical experience happened to a first-time taster from Ft. Bragg who had brought his young daughter named Eden. They lingered to the last and had a picnic in the orchard, savoring the single sweet-as-crystallized-sugar 'White Flower' that has stayed on the tree".

Well, that latter piece caught my interest and stuck in my memory when I placed my cutting order.
