Hi Joseph --

Back in February, Carol Deppe gave us some of your Landrace Moschata seeds to try. It's done pretty well here in Virginia, set lots of fruit early, did seem to get Downy Mildew earlier than most of the other moschatas in our trial patch this year, but then hung in there pretty well.

We've had a mild summer here, with about average rain, so curious to see how it'll do another year when it's hotter or wetter, but so far so good!

We've another 3-4 weeks yet til average first frost, so won't be harvesting these for a while yet, but was really impressed by how early they set such a large number of fruits. Looking forward to eating these this winter!
