A Strong Field in This Year's Sawaya Garden Trials

摘要

The weather early on this year was great for the Sawaya Garden Trials (just east of Simcoe, Ont.), and this was reflected in the quality of most varieties. We had cool nights (but not too cold!) and warm days (but not too warm!) providing excellent weather conditions for the plants to establish.So for me, any non-performing variety this season should never be on any retail shelf, grown in a greenhouse, distributed by a broker, or even produced by the breeder.To benefit from trials, it's important to apply what we learn next season. It is time to put the horticulture industry on a progressive track that makes consumer success the top priority. Carrying products that look good on the retail shelf but that we suspect won't perform for the consumer is a total disgrace and lacks integrity.
