My suspicion, Colin, is that your ground is very good in the Blenkinsop
Valley.  I think this is more important than your physical location
compared to me or Nick.  You likely have a very mineral rich earth there,
which mimics being ocean-side, and hence the superb performance you are
seeing.  Just my guess,....Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC
