We also tend to have issues with lack of heat until September and powdery mildew, though I have had great success with some hybrids like Granadero. So now I am having the same dilemma wrt hybrids vs heirloom.
I was going to grow Jaune Flamme because it has done so well for me in the past. I tried Isis Candy last year in a failed attempt to branch out, and was bitterly disappointed. I am considering SunGold this year because everyone raves about it. I also want to try Big Beef for the same reason.
Decisions, decisions! Perhaps I should refine down to a pick from list and post it to get suggestions?

I am considering building another raised bed as I want to try more variety's. Course after fighting leaf disease last year I wonder if I should cut back on the number of plants and focus on maintenance instead of more plants. How many plants do you plan to grow with your current setup.
