Marsha, this thread is wonderful. The pictures write what most people cannot. The Cherokee Lime, Esmeralda Golosina, and Talavera Native pictures made them, "Absolutely-must-grow" for me.
Oh, and about spitters... In our growing area, many consecutive days of 100+ highs and 85+ low temperatures will make some of your favorite vegetables all spitters. Last year, I believe we had turnips that became toxic. (I was trying to get seeds) didn't work. The smell actually hurt your eyes and it happened overnight. I burned them after removing them from the garden.
