  Is that the name you gave the A. P.?
    I like it.
       I didn't get Tin Barn to take this year.
 Neal Peterson e-mailed me to see if I got any takes to his Ornamental. I 
got two growing on my one mother tree. I lost about 10 pawpaws because I cut 
the grass so that when I was done it was around the grow tubes of the trees. 
Pawpaws didn't take the heat that was generated a even with the grow tubes. 
I was trying to figure out why I lost most of the pawpaw seedlings. It is 
the only answer. One that did make it did not get much clippings. I know 
better than to put green mulch within a foot of the trees, but I thought 
that the tree tubes would take care of it. Most were 3 foot grafts from the 
year before and the others were grafts I done this year that were doing so 
good. New seedling going in as soon as the ground gets a soaking.  Soon I 
hope.
