I think it's a toss-up... I think Speckled Roman & Wagner's you get more ripe at one time... Kalman's are bigger/heavier though. Sarnowski, for me, it was like 1 ripe, then a week later 2 or 3 ripe, then a few days later maybe 2 ripe, etc. Speckled Roman I was getting 3-5 ripe at a time. All results I'm talking about are for 1 plant. I think Speckled & Wagner's were maybe the highest of those 4, don't remember Kalman's(--been a few years) & don't think any had the overall production Ernie's Plump had. Sarnowski I'm growing first time this year and season isn't over yet. I harvested 3 last Saturday for the tastetest and it looks like there are 2 more ripe ones now/yesterday... if that means anything.
How many plants are you considering growing? I usually grow 1 or 2 plants of many varieties instead of many plants of 1 variety. This way you get to experience more varieties, tastes, shapes, etc in the same year.
