I germinated some seeds and was wondering is anyone has grown them in an AP. Harvest time, pests, etc?? It sure is expensive to buy, and pretty to look at.

Thanks Charlie. The bulbs all germinated, but I will only put a few in a gb, rest are going into the ground.

A comparison would be the best line of attack I think. I'm interested in your results Chris, keep us posted

Yep, that's what I'm thinking too. That's what I've done with everything so far. My new heirloom toms suck. They all split before they get ripe. Will mark that variety off my list. Amelias were far superior. Have some new ones germinating, hopefully will get to see what this heirloom thing is all about.lol Yellow pears are like weeds, Sweet Millions cherries are doing great also.
