Dave if you are interested in different luffa lines contact Tammy Ellington and let her know what you are doing. She could possibly help you from reinventing the wheel and might be able to help you access a few lines or species/subspecies you wont find at seed co's for breeding work ( maybe). She did her MS with luffa and is still at NCSU cuke.hort.ncsu.edu/cucurbit/personnel/ellington/ellington.html

Michel,
Jere speaks Spanish but as far as I know, not French. Maybe you could offer to translate it for him. Decide pay based on the WD Tables.

NOt very experience in grafting. I am going to try my hand at grafting apple trees this year. It doesnt sound nearly as exciting as what most of you are doing. I just have to start somewhere tho.
It'll be a neat project to see if the grafting takes and what kind of apple we get in several years.
I was thinking outloud with my husband today and thougth of crossing a hardy kiwi with a cherry tree and calling it a CHIWI. I wonder what that would taste like? (smile)

We are moving to a farm in fall of 2010 or spring of 2011 but first we are leaving our house in mid-summer/late summer to get an apartment in the city. We will be dual living with city living in the coldest months (my hubby is a proff in town and will be here during teaching) and country living the rest of the year which for me will be extended.
Anyhow, this means that this coming year, I will be doing lots of propogation of plant material I have that is difficult to get ahold of and just some stuff that I like and don't want to have to buy/find again.
Also I'm continuing my observation and selection of self sowing plants and trialing potential perennial edibles in this region. It is a shame that some of these experiments will be cut short though they will start with increased vigour once we get settled with our new land.

Before I moved to the farm, I made a list of all the plants I wanted to take. I wish I could have taken some of my fruit trees. But I was able to take most of my perennials. I can't even imagine trying to do that now. I have ten times the plants at least. I'd have a 55 gal bag of bulbs alone. lol I have invested in alot of fancy daffs, no way would I leave them.
