They       had tons of fruit on them, but they did not ripen until       two days before the first freeze. I must have lost       over 300 cherries.              Now I will only grow the sweet 100's are they mature       and ripen really quickly really              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
