I can't even give you a fair rating this year, as my total yield was not very good, and I had disease issues -- mostly due to gray mold, I didn't have the late blight that made the rounds in the northeast. ust some of the tried and true in my garden did well. On the cherry side - sungold and black cherry and sprite did well. On the regular tomato side, eva purple ball, lemon boy and black did well, and some of the Eastern European varieties I received from Carolyn's seed offer did pretty well. However, there's always next year, right? I had to take down the one big tree on my property, a maple with two trunks soaring from its base, because its main root was growing into the garage and started moving the bricks - I had two arborists check it out and there really was no alternative. As said I was to take it down, it will open up the tomato garden to at least a couple of hours of more sun next year and that will probably make a big difference to the productivity of the garden.
