The specific requests tend to follow whatever must be discussed in gardening magazines, on blogs, etc. My two constants are Sungold and Cherokee Purple. Green Giant is developing quite a following - last year Black Krim sat there, this year it is popular. Big reds (Aker's WV, Andrew Rahart, Cuostralee, Neves) and medium reliable reds (Red BW, Nepal) are constants. Lillian's Yellow has some passionate supporters, but Hugh's less so. Just kind of interesting to see the trends! The most unexplained phenomenon is Mexico Midget - people just NEED that one (so of course this year I had germination problems!). Violence nearly happens between people scrambling for them whenever they are available! (well, a bit of hyperbole there!)
