mdo, I bought mine on a whim, same site. From what I can see they explode, in comparison to CJ/CP. I have never tasted it, but their growth style is what's immediately piqued my interest.

olpea: In case you haven't seen it bacterial spot resistance is rated in their catalog. Nectafest is a USDA release out of WV and is rated 7 for bacterial spot resistance, pretty good. Only Avalon and SilverGem are higher at 8. Carene and Ambre are also a 7. So the ones you listed are about their best nectarines for BS resistance. The ones I like of Zaigers are rated 5 and 6. Thanks for the heads up about ordering. I requested an inventory list today.

Wow, it looks like a beautiful climber. Back in 2013, someone on HMF asked David Bang if his roses would ever be available to the home gardener. He replied that he hoped so and that he was testing a number of his roses with Star Roses and other companies from other countries and that it would be many years before they complete their testing. To the person who posted the question, he went on to say that if there was a particular rose he liked that was rejected for testing, he could produce it and sell it to them. It's been awhile since that post. I wonder how the testing is going. Here is a link to his page on HMF: David Bang

Are you looking for a vacation home or somewhere to spend a week or two? My DH and I lived in Midtown when we bought a weekend house in Pike County. That was a long time ago--the start of what eventually became full-time living in PA. I've certainly heard of the spots you mention, but don't know anything about them. I drive through Milford once a year in summer, but never have time to stop. It looks busy and charming. I can say the same for Stroudsburg, which is bigger. If you like jazz, you might look around the Delaware Water Gap (NJ) area, home of the Deer Head Inn, a jazz mecca, and some nice countryside. Perhaps Maire_Cate will see this. She's more knowledgeable than I about the very eastern PA area.
