I can't believe it, as I was ordering 8 heirloom cultivars of taters from GRIN-CA, I got a message from Mrs Jane Percy, telling me they were out of 3 of them but could grow them in vitro for me. I had to decide fast because they were emptying the storage units. She was gracefull enough to suggest some replacement, and I e-mailed her hat I had a preference for heirloom since they used to be grown organicly and I wanted to test in clay soil. I also told her she could send me as much as possible since anyway the over stock will end-up in the hands of the local food bank or prople in need I know ( which is true ). Mrs. Percy was gracefull enough to send me as much as she could of what they had left on top of my order, mostly in 20 counts bags... Look at the picture.... New ground is open tomorrow morning, the best patch is reserved for TOM WAGNER'S ALLEY , and these will end up somewhere else with the rest of the garden. I have not even counted the numbers of cultivars yet, but there is a lot, these box were almost full, not totally, to make them safe to carry. Lots of potatoes testing and hybridising in view for this summer...

The Potato Farm, Rockland, Ontario. You'll have one of the biggest experimental potato patches in the whole of Canada, or maybe there's just some insulation inside the boxes ;D ;D? You nearly fooled me there, Frank

Holly guacamole!! Can't you stop that game? It's almost 1 o'clock a.m. and I am in my bed. If I go back in my trunk to get the potatoes out of the bags, you'll say I got them at the supermarket Do you think I am stupid enough to get outside half naked so you can challenge it again anyway? Oups, I have an idea. I have a bad picture of the sender's sticker, but at least you can see the phone number of PGRC ( GRIN_CA ). You can use it to call Mrs. Jane Percy of the said repository to double check...but then, you would have to use the phone...and pay for it ;D ;D That would be a nice revenge for me And if it is not enough, I'll send my secret mistress after you...Hope you love milk, my dear goat ;D ;D ( BTW, she thinks you're cute)
