Franchi's selection is not large or fashionable, but any time an OP or heirloom variety I want is sold by Franchi, I will buy it from them. I've been impressed by the health and productivity of plants grown from Franchi seed.

Well, I will temper my expectations to my experience level and because I will be growing them up a trellis, but even so, it seems like a good bet. I'm already impatient for next year! Thanks for the great info, Fred.
