After last year's late blight fiasco I've sworn off buying plants from
the Big Box stores, I'm doing everything from seed.

I started the germination process on Friday for the first four varieties,
they have all started to sprout, my plan is to give them a few more days
on wet plates and then move them to containers at the end of the week and
then start the next batch. I'll put them in the ground in the middle of
May.

I've doing the following varieties,

Cosmonaut Volkov (Ukranian)
Black Prince (Siberia)
Black Sea Man (Russian)
Legend (Univ of Oregon, supposedly late blight resistant, we'll see)
Italian Grape
Yellow Pear
Sun Gold Cherry

Has anyone tried any of these varieties, how did they work out for you?
