That made me a bit nervous. What if she got blight? Maybe others have seed but I couldn't find any. I am glad to have them growing and plan on having a SASE offer in the fall to get them distributed.
Yes please try to offer seeds later so more people have a chance to grow these. It would be horrible if these varieties disappeared due to only a few growing them. We know how easy it is to have a bad year and a lot of us have crop failures at the same time.
