Penny,
Maybe you should think about joining us next year? It's a bit of a hike from your neck of the woods, but not as far as Galina and Jim drove from Princeton, N.J. If you wanted to come down to K-W the day before and then go with me, you're more than welcome to do so, too.
I am truly amazed myself how many different varieties show up each year. Even more so that there are so few duplicates out of all those that are brought. I think we might have had less than 5 duplicates this year, and probably no more than that the previous 2 years. What do you think, Remy? Considering how many actual varieties we end up with, have we had that many duplicates or triplicates or more?
I think what was more amazing to me was how much was there given the lousy growing conditions we all had this past summer - cold and wet, with allot of late blight going around. But that's just MHO.
