Interesting. I grew Copper River for the first time this past summer. I had the wettest June in 150+ years. I saved seeds from a lot of varieties that were not great for me, but I had a hunch it was because of the wet weather, and not the variety's fault. Copper River was one of those varieties. I'm glad I decided to save seeds.

Just curious: what was the "#1 best tasted"?

Don't get me wrong, they are different. It's just that while processing the flavor and trying to find a reference point to compare, a very ripe kiwi came to mind.

I'm glad you did too!

For me it's always in flux. For them, there was a particularly memorable 2nd cluster Carbon in the middle of the summer that flat out beat everyone else. At least for their taste buds. I thought it was excellent.

My exceptional ones this season have been: a relatively dry farmed NAR, a mid summer extra large Cosmonaut Volkov, a very ripe Tasmanian Chocolate from a week ago, and honorable mentions to mid summer Nicky Crain and Orange Minsk Heart. Just thinking about them made my mouth water as i typed this out.

Quite a range of flavors, all grown in containers.

Raining and cold, picked a few early to avoid splitting. Lots of variety.

Not very many of them look like tomatoes.
What is wrong with them?

Cold has been tough on them. A few days inside and they get pretty.

THanks M!!! Lots of new and intriguing ones from Bunny Hop populating the next wave, so the colors will be even more interesting. Those Solar Flares were eye-catching, will they return or just a tryout?

They will return. I would love to see how that plant performs in a good season, since it did as well as this in a very poor one.

Thanks, it's been a great harvest fall-winter. I'll keep the pics coming, 'cause I know it helps when you're up north.
