farkee (Miss Cowpea),

so glad to hear from you. did you grow earl's faux and prue this season so you could taste them side by side? they do not taste similiar but both are just perfect!

the odd thing is i thought grub started a new thread, i did not look at the date of the post. i was ready to question his growing season (it's just past mid winter down there) but not knowing his latitude i thought he was close enough to the equator to have another season.

The flavor is distinctive

....and with Ruth I will agree.

For me it is NOT sweet but has a taste that would allow me to ID it by taste alone. And that's hard for me to do, as in almost impossible.

From the first seeds Tom sent me before he made his offer online I loved it and listed it in the SSE Yearbook ASAP.

I don't consider it as a heart variety b'c it makes fruits of many different shapes, and yes, some that resemble hearts are usually present.

And I'll repeat what I said above about the variety Matt D Imperio being very similar and one that I also love. Matt is sold by Sandhill Preservation as is Prue.
