My favorites taste-wise are Cherokee Purple, Brandywine, Earl's Faux, Marianna's Peace, but none of them are ready early by any stretch... Actually I got my first Brandywine pretty quick this year. It was awesome. |
Actually I was wanting to try something new just for the giggles more than anything. I normally grow early girls, better boy, big boy, golden girl and golden jubilee and will probably grow some of those afterall I know they are good

I'm about an hour SE of Springfield. I have a rather large garden so I have lots of space to grow 'maters. I do losts of things such as make juice, salsa, freeze, can etc etc however my favorite thing is to go out in the garden with a salt shaker and eat 'til I cant stand it LOL
