As soon as they arrive, I'll send some over to you Mike or we'll have to have that late winter 'gardeners of the north east' get together say at the end of February?
Telsing.

i just finished getting all your packets ready for the mail...however, we have a blizzard going on right now. as fast as we shovel, it keeps coming down. so, we'll try and get them out maybe tomorrow if it's clear.
val, in your address there's the word stie. is that right or should it be site?
orflo, i only had a few beards of the perennial rye, and going through them there was not one seed???! i can't remember if i planted both packages i had or not. will look around today and see if i can find any. i left the black amber sorghum on it's branches. patrick sent me spelt that way, and it seems like a good way to go. i would've sent the wheat that way, but already had shucked it.
will post here when we get to the post office. send sun! ;D

Hi Bunkie,
it was interesting to see your photos... I am somewhat surprised to see you got any harvest as these grains are bred to be late summer early fall sown for July Aug. harvest (dry in field). Perhaprs you have plenty of cool nights during early summer. ...What was the name on the per wheat packet? ...I hope to work more with you on all these per. grains. ...
Root binding in cell trays or pots is no problem for per. grains, just trim back the tops if they are top heavy and you are transplanting in dry weather. ...
if you have an exceptional plant, you can easily multiply it hundreds/thousands of times a year by intelligent breaking of the clump on a regular basis...
I have 6 new per rye grain selections to share ...they offer a better per. endurance due to stronger foliage disease resistances and a stronger wild per montanum parentage. Each is distinct. 2 sels have strong winter growth and are excellent for bird or animal forage as well as grain.
...I have an offer for any of you reading this. A per grain breeding, trialing, production group/forum.
Perennial Grain Pioneers
$25 support fee (july thru july)
entitles you to breeding samples of the above improved per. ryes now, and supporters will recieve (in response to the date of their support and continuance) priority to recieve any new PER. GRAIN SELECTION. There should be some wheat, triticale, grain sorghum, cane sorghum material to share with you this fall if all goes reasonibly well.
email me if you are interested ...I know that a few of you are. ...
(I have not heard back from Alan or Michel so there may be changes for those who respond after I do hear from them)
Tim Peters
