I also grow mostly the open pollinated varieties. No, I have never stuck
with a variety that did not live up to it's reputation. I am curious
though.

I have many favorite... and am always find new ones to add to the list!
Ask me again next year :-)
I like the cherries for early - galinas is good. If anyone can recommend
a good EARLY small/medium open pollinated tom, please do so.
For pretty flavor, a bicolour like regina's yellow is a favorite. It
is sweet, large, smooth, well formed fruit that has always done well for
me. For unusual colour I like the greens. These always get the biggest
reaction from people. Some current favorites are Aunt Ruby's and Dorthy's.
For unsual shape, I like the carrot or pepper shaped opalka. Full flavored,
meaty and good fresh or dried.
What are your favorites?

As a fellow dedicated seed saver I'll trade any time. What are
you looking for?
