what do you mean by extreme variation in type?

i assume they are all regular leaf plants.

do you mean that some of the seedlings are weak or scrawny?


nice pic there!

Beautiful picture! I've got a winter wonderland here, so I am jealous. The plant looks great, very healthy. Cant wait to get your report when the first fruits ripen.
