 So how many "wild" varieties do you grow,
Not so Laconic Luke in Oz replied..

Baillesy had about 210 varieties at his Chile Festival last March, I 
know this as I sampled most of them . How many did he grow ?  Well he 
has a dedicated staff of about 3-4 Nurserymen on wages so I'd say 
quite a few , I know he had some shipped in to sell at the Festival, but 
that was just straight Business sense. heck if you have 210 varieties on 
show ,the logistics of growing them are bewildering .
anyway " I am rambling on here, bailesy could be having a holiday now as 
he subbed in slo-mode a few days ago, so I thought i'd reply for him to 
part  A  of the Question"..
