How was the hail damage for you? With the angle it came in on I had some pretty severe damage to 13 plants - I counted 11 hail marks on one Sun Gold fruit. Virtually all of the fruit on those plants have the skin punctures which look ok when the fruit is green, but introduce rot as soon as they start ripening.

EM Champion will be making a return in my 2021 garden. It has already produced a load of beautiful red hearts, the taste of which is sweet and complex with a bit of an acid kicker.
Early, compact, tasty and grows well in a cage. What more can anyone ask? Linda |

![]() ![]() I-3 and O-33 are fairly good, short season, and can handle a lot of stress. I would marginally prefer O-33 as it is a bit more productive in my Southeastern U.S. garden. |

Well, if those fruits are 250 grams each, I think 50 is a very solid number. Em Champion surely looks like it will be my most producing plant in a 5 gallon container I ever grew. Nice shape, blemish free. The taste though... maybe the second wave will be better. They are just mild.
Certainly a variety to consider growing though, it gets established and grows fast in a colder spring. |
