Good morning, all!

I was on FB and saw that Mike Sutton desperately needs Edge of the World rhizomes due to a gopher issue.

Be well, and gopher free.

Good grief, and I thought that *I* had it bad. 25 foot row, OUCH!

Evaluating an iris seedling, hopefully for rebloom

....... just sent him my entire stock of Edge of the World rhizomes (9, total)
Hope it helps them, or it could be irrelevant -- his customers may have more than answered the call, and provided/replaced the stock

I did, initial response positive, but no further communication or response on receipt of package, but no worries. Edge of the World grew very well for me, but was always damaged by late freezes, so I never got any quality bloom out of the variety.
