Wes, 2nd year in my garden, this is such a universally loved red meaty blunt to fairly pointed red heart, excellent sweet flavor.

Just stopping by for my pic fix. Wow, they are all outstanding.

ETA: So which one was the spitter?

ginger2778 · January 17, 2015

Not pictured . The spitter was an off type of Banded Amazon. It was not dwarf, not a rugose leaf in sight, and regular sized internodes.

I can't even begin to imagine having only one spitter!

How lucky you are!

Marsha, this thread is wonderful. The pictures write what most people cannot. The Cherokee Lime, Esmeralda Golosina, and Talavera Native pictures made them, "Absolutely-must-grow" for me.

Oh, and about spitters... In our growing area, many consecutive days of 100+ highs and 85+ low temperatures will make some of your favorite vegetables all spitters. Last year, I believe we had turnips that became toxic. (I was trying to get seeds) didn't work. The smell actually hurt your eyes and it happened overnight. I burned them after removing them from the garden.

Homemade cages made from a roll of field fence, and several firring strips (spelling?) that my husband cut a point on, and hammers into the ground after we weave it through the cages, to keep the boxes from tipping. Usually they tip first though.

I 'll try to find our picture of the setup.
