In Austin in '10 these were my best producers:

-Green Zebra
-Nyagos
-Cherokee Purple
-Black Krim

However, that was one year, in a specific climate and soil type. Also, I have not grown a large # of varieties in Austin (about 10-15.) I did not grow SOTW, red brandywine, etc, that year. Production is somewhat dependent on how suited that variety is for your situation. In fact, my grandfather had huge production off a Sudduth Brandywine (!?) of all things (sorry, he didn't save the seed!)

Last year's garden was grown in crappy hard clay somewhat ammended with sphagnum moss. This next year I am in my new house and have raised beds with better soil, so who knows what will grow this year!
