Captain lucky and stump of the world are the best I've grown. Delicious. Working on three PL heart crosses I hope people will want to try once stable.

I haven't had that many potato leaf varieties, but I liked Soldacki. Delicious. So was GMG.
A couple of red ones tasted just OK, nothing special.. |

I have several new potato leaf varieties in my garden that are performing well, so I have hopes to add to this list. I am crazy about them, and would have a whole garden of just PL varieties. Long term, there hasn't been a garden without Brianna, Linda's Faux, Marianna's Peace, Matina, and Lithuanian for a long time. Granny Cantrell morphed into a potato leaf variety for me several years ago, and I continue to grow that selection yearly. More recently I have added Indian Stripe Potato Leaf to the yearly line up. Also love Summertime Gold from the Dwarf Project.

Hey, NancyRuhl, I am creasy about PLs too. Just like you , I would love to have all PL varieties.
Marsha, thank you for sharing seeds of your favorite Rebel Yell. KarenO, many of us would love to try PL heart varieties. My faves are Grandfather Ashlock, Vorlon, Cowlick, and Sweet Sue.

Aunt Gertie followed by Chernomor. Aunt Gertie is a weird looking plant. Horizontal leaves are long and with a huge 'leaf' at the end, looks very sparse and not really like a tomato plant.

Cherokee Purple potato leaf is one I always grow. It's a predictable tomato with a long shelf life and the taste, on my personal scale of 1-10, is about a 7. I grow it because it does well here and is popular.
