What are we growing for SETTFest V?

snappybob · March 30, 2011

Here is my lineup for this year:

Purple Haze
Cherokee Yellow
Black Cherry
Southern Night
Anana's Noir
Black Krim
Arkansas Traveler
Soiux
Church
Green Zebra
Cherokee Purple
Purple Calabash
Homestead
Large Red Cherry
Berkley Tie Dye
JD C-tex

Hopefully I'll be able to bring a repesentative for each variety. I sometimes lose one or two to some problem or calamity.

We had a chance of rain and hail last night. Didn't get either. I don't know if we dodged the bullet or missed the boat. Sure is dry here.

This is still a bit of a sore spot with me. I had a fantastic plant-out planned for this year, arranged around my tasting faves from last year's SETTFest. But I did not get to plant a single one of those varieties --not one! I was forced to go with a back-up selection of varieties, most of which were not at the top of my prefs list.

Anyway...

ATKINSON!
Black Krim
Hugh's (only one survived --some sort of virus, not [as initially reported] verticillium [and no one else affected, so that's the end of that]
Goose Creek
Aunt Ginnie's Purple
Kosovo
Spudakee
Earl's Faux ("Oh look! Fruit-set! I may actually harvest this year!!!")
Marmande
Clear Pink Early
Lemon Boy
Golden Boy
Lemon Zebra (or whatever it is they're calling it)
(BHN) 444

And no snarking about the last four entries! The 'Boys were planted b/f I remembered that Hugh's is a yellow (and, such as it turned out, I'm glad I have 'em), and I am not above trialing mass-market hybrids just in case there's an attack of something that requires VFN- or similar resistance.

(Additional: depending on the timing, I may sneak in some samples of Park's Whopper, Mountain Spring and Sun Master from my mother's beds in Beaumont)
