For those that love Sungold but decided to replace it, please share what you replaced it with. I like Sungold a lot but I'm eagerly wanting to replace it with something OP. I always buy a Sungold plant from nurseries every season but would like to replace it with something better.
![]() This season I'm growing Painted Pink from J and L gardens, Black Hole Sun from Secret Seed Cartel, Zachary from Heirloomtomaguy and Bloody Butcher from saved seed along with one plant of Sungold. Al Last edited by Al@NC; April 19, 2016 at 11:24 PM. |

I grew Painted Pink this spring; it is dynamite but it tastes nothing like sun gold.

I've been searching for one myself and there is one I wanted to try called honey drop avail from Hudson Valley Seed Library.
That said, last year's Ambrosia Gold was awesome!!

![]() ![]() I see J and L has a few cherries that look like they might could replace Sungold such as Josefina. I might try Ambrosia Gold next season, since a couple of you like it. Al Last edited by Al@NC; April 20, 2016 at 08:56 AM. |
