Hello all. In potting up my seedlings two weeks ago I discovered a RL plant amongst my Daniel Bursons. Of the six seeds I sowed, five came up: four PL, one RL.
My seed source was Heritage Seed Market, which notes that RLs of the plant should not be grown out... which tells me this has happened before with their seed stock. Not that I'm complaining, I kind of like it when this happens. It's a fun surprise!
Anyway, I read this thread again, and some of the posts indicate this has happened on occasion with DB.
Heritage Seed notes on their description that they have grown out an RL version along side the true PL plant and found the taste to be the same.
Since I cannot resist it, I think I am going to grow out my "Not Daniel Burson RL" and see what happens. Even if it is a stray seed in the pack, my experience with these gifts from the gardening Gods is the mystery plant is usually delightful.
