I'm not sure what I am doing right but my 2 Buttercup plants gave me about 17 fruit this year and about the same last year, and some are near 6 lbs. And I love how they taste and keep.
Thanks for all your other suggestions. I am thinking of doing a local market next summer so I am thankful for your input on what keeps well.
