what tastes most like Brandywine Sudduth's, but produces better?

Greyghost, my Daniels came from you, I sent out some BC but no Daniels.

What do you guys think of Richardson? I grew it this year ,and thought it was a very good BW type.

I'm convinced. I put both Daniels and Reisentraube on my Sand Hill order.

Daniels to grow in the "really too long-season to grow here" section with Daniel Burson, Brandywine (original -- from seed that grew successfully within a few miles of here, though at a somewhat lower altitude, Sudduth's, Joyce's and Cowlick's), Orange Russian #117, original Russian #117, Bear Creek -- and depending on how space works out, some like Pappy Kerns, George Detsikas, Maiden's Gold/Pride/Fire, Sweet Ozark Orange and some of the Indian Stripes may get a spot both inside the "warmer" zone and in the regular garden for comparison.

The "warmer" zone is three rows just under 50' ea along the south side of the main veg garden where I have a frame that lets me set up a kind of plastic covered tunnel/greenhouse like protection with water bottles inside to help maintain heat and black landscape fabric on the ground -- same purpose. Not as strong or as tight as a regular greenhouse or tunnel, but it works pretty well to create an area with an extended and slightly warmer season -- high winds, heavy snows, and vile voles permitting.

So . . . perhaps . . . that will provide some sort of comparison of a number of other varieties to Sudduth's.

Or perhaps it will just create a lot of fat voles.
