I posted earlier that NAR is my favorite of the year! It is SO darned beautiful and delicious. It really isn't the most productive, but the fruits you get are so worth it.
Big Beef has been the most productive for me this year. Flavor is so-so, and they're really not all that big. A lot of them are going into tonight's pico de gallo salsa. I might give this one a year off in favor of Steak Sandwich.
Good to know that Cherokee Purple does well here. I'll try it next year. When I lived in CA I used to get tons of CP from the Santa Monica Farmers Market each week. It has always been one of my favorites.
Question: what do you do to keep your plants alive through monsoon? Also, anything I've planted in July and August to date has just sat there. Didn't die, didn't grow, just sat there drinking water and taking up space. What's the secret? (BTW, I'm a total back yard container gardener.)
