what it comes down to for me, is will it get ripe before the frost hits it. sometimes its a challenge to get some mid season varieties to ripen in quantity for me. i try to weight my choices toward the best earlier, and mid season varieties, and experiment with a few late season ones just to see. the ones that do well and taste good come back. one of these days i'll have a green house, and that will widen my choices a bit.
