I'm in central Alabama--I've grown Gary O'Sena on your list (only 1 year) I got a few off the plant-they were good but not great, a little mushy.

[KKinAL]

Also NAR-- I didn't see it before.(only tried it this year) I didn't get 1 edible one off of it---I was really dissappointed. Disease & stink bugs got it bad!

[brog]

Thanks for the info -- try KBX and Cherokee chocolate---they workedgood in central Ga. and Miss. this year.

Hi T-Bird I`ve got some good seed if you need any.

Kellog's Breakfast and KBX have performed well here in the Rocky Mountain region of Utah. Stump of the World did pretty good although I think Earl's Faux was more productive and a bit earlier. I haven't had the best luck with Marianne's Peace, but I only tried it once (it seems to be more sensitive to the heat than some others). I know there are some Utah growers that have had sucess if they can get it out early enough. Brandywine doesn't like the heat either. Our season's can vary, but we can always count on hot dry summers. Most early and mid-season varieties do well. Later season varieties don't do so well since nights start getting cold early fall at our altitude. Hope this helps.

I was too busy with other things on my farm during the growing season to do decent evals. But since things died and I've been going around picking up the 1/2 rotten friut to save seeds, I can tell you the varieties that still had a ton of fruit on them.

Orange Strawberry
Marianna's Peace
Rose
Kellogg's Breakfast

I'm sure there were more, but those were the ones that stand out in my mind right now. Oh yah, most all the cherries and grapes were still loaded, especially the Juliets.

I live in Wisconsin about 30 miles north of Milwaukee and about 15 miles away from Lake Michigan. This last year was low on rain after our floods of June, and rather low on heat. Not a "green tomato summer" but not hot either. Rather average frost. Rather late in spring and average for fall so a slightly shorter season than some years.

Sunflower 1st I`ve heard of orange strawberry in Lakes region,thanks for input
Thanks Spy all of yours are very popular in R.M. areas--wounder about Celebrity,Box Car Willie and Russian Rose in R. M. region. thanks

[Wi-sunflower]

Orange Strawberry is a large orange Oxheart that for us is often over a lb.

It has been prolific for us for the last several summers in quite different types of summers. Hubby has been picking quite a lot of it green at the end of the season and bringing in to ripen slowly for his breakfasts.

Bill, sorry I am just getting back to this. Would love to try Rattlesnake beans. Will send you a p.m. If your offer is still open, there's certainly no hurry. Wouldn't be able to plant them till around mid to late May. We live in an excellent bean growing area.
