Sharon I grew ISPL right along with DB last year. Needless to say that DB was the stronger, better tasting and producing plant

$$$$$$

That doesn 't surprise me at all.Consider the parentage of IS RL and ISPL,and compare with the parentage of DB and I think you'll see where I'm coming from.

Yes, I am growing DB this summer but I know IS RL going back to 2003 and have grown it many times for former SSE listings and seed offers and IS PL came along not that many years later.

So what's left for me to do is to see how I like DB, and knowing the parentage I know I will and fingers crossed it's a good summer since the last three have been terrible and Freda pretty much gave up taking care of my plants for me.
