I picked the following 10 varieties from the Blue Ribbon Seed offer.
Tell me what you think if you see one you have grown and not had luck with or just plain did not like. Be honest, all of these varieties are new to me and I'm looking for guidance.

BARNES MOUNTAIN YELLOW
CHEROKEE PURPLE
FRANK'S LARGE RED Ky
GOLDEN PINEAPPLE
KBX
KY BEEFSTEAK ORANGE Ky
OMAR'S LEBANESE
ORANGE HEART
PINEAPPLE
PONDEROSA

Guidance because you can't grow them all this year?

I've grown:

Cherokee Purple- grew 4 times and like it but not as much as others
KBX- guess I'm strange because I didn't like this or Kellogg's Breakfast
Pineapple- liked it a lot but like Hawaiian Pineapple better

This year I'm growing:

Frank's Large Red
KY Beefsteak Orange

so I'm interested in hearing what others have to say about the others on your list.

Yes, and so I can know which ones to give to others to try

Thanks Kath

Gottcha- so, are you gonna give away the "good" ones or the "losers"?!

Seriously, they're probably all good, and there are people out there that will like the ones that others don't. The mystery seems to be how to go about matching them up before they're tasted.
