I think I'm going no-till

To be fair to the Sweet Cranberry, I ate a Cyril's Choice in the garden yesterday, and despite it being one of my favorite varieties from last year, it was not good at all.

Both varieties tasted mealy, and it reminds me of the way the very last tomatoes of the year taste, when the nights start getting down into the 40's. When these fruit were forming in May, I had a lot of cold wet nights in the low 50's.

The high tunnel, despite being planted at nearly the same time, is thankfully not having the same flavor problems. It's unheated, so the night temps were the same, but the plants were a lot warmer in the daytime and not wet at night.
