What New Varieties Surprised in 2009?

barkeater · October 14, 2009

Good or bad, what happened with the new varieties you had such high hopes for when you planted them, other than tomatoes?

These new varieties I had the following results, from best to worst:

1) Inferno Hungarian Hot Wax Pepper - great flavored, consistently hot, productive.

2) Bouquet Dill - Huge plant, 5 feet high with heads 12" across.

3) Candy sweet onion - grown from transplants all over a pound, early, and perfect shapes.

4) Cipollini Heirloom Italian Red Onion - Most were doubles or didn't look like picture, and were no earlier than Candy and Mars.

5) Redwing Onion - longest lasting red storage onion. 90% doubles and small.

6) Jalapa jalapeno - Low production and skinny with no corking and nowhere near the heat of Early Jalapeno which it replaced.

7) Autopick Hot Pepper - Totally useless!
