Vivaldy is normal and Skipper has very small leaves but it produces a lot during 2 months.
Excellent français Ray
My garden has a superficy of 1200 square meters with 100 square meters for the vegetables and nearly 500 for the orchard.
Thanks to the Gulf Stream our winters are mild with the last frost occuring between the end of march to early may. But with GS we are under the oceanic winds so the summer is fresh (average high in july 24°C) and the rain falls all the year.

Mayz, I haven't heard of Surgevil peas before. Can you tell me about anything about them? Surgevil is a early dwarf pea with wrinkled seeds. This pea is also resistant to powdery mildew and mosaic. Initially released by Vilmorin (a french seed company) but Vilmorin has stopped the marketing of Surgevil recently. Delbard continues to sell it. So Surgevil is now probably in the public domain as it is not in the European Catalogue this year

some news concerning the F2 progeny of the cross Pink jumbo banana x Galeux d'Eysines
mid may i have planted 37 F2 seedlings
Actually they are blossoming and i have counted 27 plants with a spherical ovary and 10 plants with a banana ovary.
Moreover 5 plants display yellow-green leaves (regulated by the recessive allele yg). One of both parents was probably heterozygous for this locus.

the belgian weather is perfect for the peas
a good yield is 18 pounds (8kg) of shelled peas per 100 square feet (10 square meters)

So my pawpaw blossoms one month later.
the ripening of fruit needs nearly 140 days
end may + 140 days ripening mid october
so the ripening remains possible as the first frost comes between end october and end november

I grow an Asimina (6 years old seedling). This spring I have partially grafted it with cv Davis. But this shrub blossoms very late (end of may) so I think that it is not well adapted to my climate. What is the flowering time in US? Attachments:
