Randy Gardner in NC has bred many more varieties than you can imagine and there's a whole series of Mountain ones.

All of them are very popular, and have been for many years for both commercial farmers as well as home growers.

My great farmer friend Charly Brizzell grew lots of them,my brother always wanted me to get seeds for them when he was still up here in NYS but is now in NC and had so many diseases in NC I tried to get Randy to drive up from Fletcher to help with diagnosis..

I know Randy very well and have for many years.He wanted to introduce better taste into some of his hybrids and asked if I would send him seeds he could use for that.

I used to trial some of his varieties for him as did Fusion,aka Darrell Jones, who is a Tville member and posts often.

Just one link for now
