Fred... I use white, 5 & 7 gallon grow bags. 2 Plants to a bag, single stem. In the past I have grown in the ground, with similar results. I am working on a new garden section, that was previously a forest, and just recently planted over 40 assorted plants. But it will obviously be a couple months before the results are in.
My cherry of choice is Supersweet 100. Which is admittingly resistant to F. & V. But also am trialing "Egg Yolk", which is doing well. Dont care for its taste, but the plants themselves are doing fantastic.
Over the years I have tried more varieties of Beefsteak type and Slicer type then I care to list. Grown a wide variety of OP and Hybrid. Grown under Plastic and out in the open. Lived in 3 different states, but NC has been the most problematic so far.
