I'm already planning for next year and want to be sure to include some heat-tolerant varieties-- heirloom or hybrid-- so I'd like to know what has been working for people this year. |
There are several doing better than I would have expected in this extreme heat. The top two in my garden this year for heat tolerance are
1. Indian Stripe
2. Russian Rose
Others that are holding their own Spudakee, Cowlick brandywine, Wessles purple pride, Big Cheef, in the cherry dept, Green Drs Frosted and German Lunchbox are still producing.
