For taste (so I don't mix them up), I have been picking from one plant at a time with each plant being assigned its own bowl and then having a taste comparison. To date, I've made my family and neighbors all taste. So far, we all agree that they taste DIFFERENT.
Thanks for the update Melissa.

But I have to say that since taste is personal and perceptual and actually a human genetic component is involved with taste perception, I'm a bit surprised that everyone that tasted the two agreed on taste and said they tastged differently.

And as the season progresses I hope we get even more feedback here.

Will we solve the mystery or won't we, that's the question.
