I would like to know your opinion on the various Late Blight resistant, F1 hybrid, determinate, red varieties you have grown.
Your experience in terms of vigorous growth, high fruit production, and superior disease resistance is appreciated.
I found Iron Lady to lack vigor in the seedling and transplant stages. Defiant was a bit stronger, but still less vigorous than many of the open pollinated, determinate varieties in the same starter trays, under the same sprouting and early development conditions.
The Mt. Series have been satisfactory in all regards, but a bit low in flavor profile until nearly dead ripe condition, which takes quite a long time to achieve due to their heroic degree of delayed ripening genetics.
