Naw, chocolate reapers have been popping up for much time now. I had one first season I grew reapers, worked on it, sent lots of free with order and asked folk to tell me how they went, finally offered them for sale this past year. Mr. Butch Taylor did much the same as I understand it. But there have been lots of other folk with like results. I gotta figure Mr. Duffy already has the thing, if not in the catalog then in his garden.
But ye, same sort of thinking goes back and forth about a lot of the big names. I kind of think on it the same way I think on knife making and black smithing. I am selling labor, so there really isnt any reason for competition. Just folk paying me to do a thing. We all have limited labor, so there isnt really competition.
Now maybe it is cause our seed business is small time and they ignore me, but I would gladly drink a bier with both of them, sit down, shut up, drink my bier and learn. Both are absolutely amazing men for what they have accomplished.
