Kurt, we'll be looking forward to your report. I went to Washington state and Oregon, and they had lots of farmer's markets, and I also met another tomatovillian in Washington. Got to sample Sungold F1, it's everthing they say it is and more, as well as sunsugar (just yummy) Spudakee( just as good if not better than Cherokee Purple). I am growing plants for the swap for all except sunsugar.
They were so good that I can't hardly even stand the wait till harvest.
