Thanks Kath. I'll have to give Provider a try.

I've been getting very good yields from Tema (especially early season) and fair from Derby. Both get a bit longer vines than I would like and neither seem to handle the heat especially well for me. I grew up with Top Crop in MO in heavy soils where they were great in the heat but I never gotten a decent crop from them here on the eastern-shore of MD with our sandy soils. I might try them again now that I am in raised beds with a better soil mix.
