Glad you came out of the closet, Thom, and stopped lurking!! You are such a
valuable asset and your comments are needed. I'm interested on all your

What is Brown Derby like? Do you ever contact Park's about their Green
Zebra X Banana Legs cross? What did you learn? Bet it came from Seeds by
Design.
