Planning to select one of each to save seed
from, the best IMO , and do it agin next year a dozen of each and so on. I want to stabilize the three as they are so that is my goal. They already are what I want so I am not hoping for more segregation but to achieve stability as they are. A bicolour heart, the ribbed Purple Heart and the large black blunt heart. Time will tell if it's going to work. They taste excellent as well so the flavour will be key in selecting among them if the general looks are the same. Flavour and relative earliness as I need a final plant that will produce in a 120 day frost free ( in a good year) season.
I am no expert but this is my plan. I am certain there are other ways
