Heirlooms NOT to grow!

Yes, the shapes are similar on several of them. I went in search of elongated pastes a couple of years ago, and am slowly weeding out those I'm not happy with from a production stand point.

Here's some info on average weight so far, which is what I'm basing next year's selections on - Polish Linguisa and Olpaka are averaging about 3 ounces, and Jersey Devil only 2; George O'Brien is at 4 ounces, Ernesto and Nudi Family Heirloom are averaging 7 ounces, and my first Romeo is a solid 10 ounces. All that have ripened so far are meaty with little gel and few seeds. I've read that Romeo is the same way, but I'll find out myself tomorrow,
