The only varieites that have produced to date (transplanted out in
wall-o-waters 4/1/97) are:
Sungold - very good production and excellent flavor (first fruit ripe
5/17)
First Lady - Nice! Good taste for an early variety of slicer (first fruit
ripe 5/20)
Golden Queen - The best as far as flavor, plant vigor and
overall "ooh-ah" factor
Eliza Blake - Very pretty cherry (large-size fruits) with nice flavor,
albeit a bit on the mild side.
Principe Borghese - Not real impressed, but then it's a drying tomato
Better Boy - the least productive and most non-descript in flavor
Within the next couple of weeks, I should be eating fruit from 40+ more
varieties. Second batch of transplants of other varieties I'm trying this
year will go in ground in 2 weeks.
