Awesome Marsha!! I always follow your growing threads to see how you rank them. Plus they are perfect timing for the northern folks to help shape their lists for that year coming up (in this case, 2019!)

Marsha,
What is New Cheef as opposed to Big Cheef?

Its a different segregant from the same cross. I don't know too much yet, but it's been selected by Bill Jeffers, so it's likely going to be good.

Firebird Sweet makes a tasty 12-14 oz. pink with yellow to gold stripes. It and Summer Sunrise are the largest of the many dwarfes I've grown. I will grow again because it's a producer.

Looking forward to your comments on some new varieties, Marsha. What a great list. Hope they give you many tasty fruits. As always, lots of work has to be done. Nature, please be nice to Marsha's crop.;)

Thanks Ella, they are mostly all forming fruit now. It just finally cooled off enough about 3 nights ago. Shorts are still comfortable.

Thank you for a lovely memory walk down your list! There were a number of tomatoes I thought, "Oh THAT was a great tomato - I should comment on it." Then, I remembered I got the seed from you. Thank you!

A second, hard frost here last night so I am down to watching the kale thrive in its pine needle bed, restringing my tomahooks, and bleaching everything.

Thank you Sue. I need to start a photo thread, finding the time is hard.

Better than zero, right?

I grew KBX and Kelloggs Breakfast side by side this summer, and KBX outperformed and outproduced the original by miles. It also lived longest and stayed healthiest.


That was in EBs here in the "cooler" SF Bay. Would love to hear how it does in your EB.

5th year growing KBX, always in my EBs.
KBX is my favorite for BLTs. I love it. Kellogg's Breakfast was not nearly as strong and succumbed to disease early. I got 1 fruit, an it rotted.
