From your list, last year I grew:
Dr. Lyle... Very good, large, late, great taste, medium production. Would grow again. Cherokee Purple... Always great, large, midseason, great taste, very productive. Every year Cuostralee... First time last year. Large, late, best testing ever! High production. Will always grow from now on. |

My grandparents help me out, too. I am lucky to get to spend time with them. They're in their 80's, so I know that time is limited.
