Yorkbec

Hi,

I received a free packet Yorkbec seeds along with my order from Sandhill Preservation last year.

Here's Sandhill's description of the variety for those who haven't heard of it:

Yorkbec: very early, Det, red globe 4 to 6 oz. size from Quebec. Pkt. $1.75 OG

I didn't have room for it last year and am trying to decide if I should give it a spot in my garden this coming season. I'm assuming that others here who ordered from Sandhill might also have gotten some Yorkbec seeds (either as a gift or purchased). So... if you've had the opportunity to try this variety, how did you like it and how did it compare to other early red varieties (determinate or indeterminate) that you've grown? Is it especially cold tolerant? About how long was the "harvest period?"

Thanks!
Anne
