Hi,
Thought it might be interesting to see what European growers will be going with next year.
I will be growing the 1297 Ghaye and the 963 Paton.
I would like to squeeze another one in too but not sure what it will be yet.
What about everyone else ???

Peter.

I guess at this point it depends on quite a few factors, but this looks like my list for 2008. The ones in CAPS are my competition plants.

1093 HUNT 06 (1068 x 842)

1297 Ghaye 07 (998 x self)
893 Privitera 07 (998 x 1068)

My old 709 is also back in the picture because of the success I had treating a fruit with stem rot this year, not sure how to accommadate it yet.

I just won a 1093 Hunt(06) in the GVGO seed raffle.
Really excited about this and will be growing it.
I can`t bear to let this seed sit in an envelope, so plans will have to change.
I still want to grow the 963 as well but will probably leave Jos`s 1297 until next year.

Another 1093 in Europe. That's scary. Good luck with it. It is going to hit a few more patches this year as I understand.
