My theory on container gardening is that you get much more heat at the root area - I've grown them here in good sun in the soil and they don't yield nearly as much as when grown in pots.

I have no idea what the NY Improved crossed with...though it is something with a dark calyx, I am sure! Will have to see what its neighbors were that year!
