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? I'm not impressed with the Yellow Pear, except for the color it adds to a salad, but it is a consistent producer, and has volunteered for me the last 2 years. -- "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Arn3lF5XSUg http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Zinn/HZinn_page.html |
